夫见道者,譬如持炬入冥室中,
其冥即灭,而明独存。
学道见谛,无明即灭,而明常存矣。
— 释迦牟尼佛
《四十二章经》: 第十七章
Those who see the path, for example, are like those holding torches entering dark rooms within, with that darkness then eradicated, and with only brightness retained. Learning the path and seeing truths, ignorance is then eradicated, and with brightness always retained.
— Śākyamuni Buddha
