佛子离吾数千里，忆念吾戒，必得道果。
在吾左右，虽常见吾，不顺吾戒，终不得道。
— 释迦牟尼佛
《四十二章经》: 第三十七章
The Buddha’s disciples departed from me for several thousand miles, if recollecting mindfully my precepts, will definitely attain the path’s fruit. Those at my left and right, although constantly seeing me, yet not according with my precepts, in the end will not attain the path.
— Śākyamuni Buddha
