The Buddha said, ‘Those who follow the Way are like warriors
who fight single-handed with a multitude of foes. They may all go out of the fort in full armour; but among them are some who are
fainthearted, and some who go halfway and beat a retreat, and some who are killed in the affray, and some who come home victorious. Monks, if you desire to attain enlightenment, you should steadily walk in your Way, with a resolute heart, with courage, and should be fearless in whatever environment you may happen to be, and destroy every evil influence that you may come across for thus you shall reach the goal.’
