Leaving the Raft


The Buddha compared his teachings to a raft carrying us across the turbulent river of samsara to the other shore, where we can nirvana. However, once we reach the far shore, just as carrying the real raft with us would be foolish, so we must leave behind the theory of Buddhism and rely upon ourselves.
