| On one occasion I entered a hospital in Calcutta where they used huge machines; but they failed in their diagnosis. Our Tibetan doctors, without any instruments, touch the wrists, listen to the various pulses, examine the person, and know quite precisely what is wrong. The whole system is really remarkable. |

| Chapter 7 : seek no wealth 01 Do not set your heart on wealth! 02 There is no ignoring Shay and Renenet! 03 Do not let your heart go straying, (for) 04 every man comes to his hour. 05 Do not labour to seek increase, 06 what You have, let it suffice You. 07 If riches come to You by theft, 08 they will not stay the night with You. 09 Comes morning, (and) they are not in your house ; 10 their place is seen but they are not there : 11 earth opened its mouth, leveled them, swallowed them, 12 and made them sink into Dat, (or) 13 they made a hole as big as their size, 14 and sank into the netherworld, (or) 15 they made themselves wings like geese, 16 and flew away to the sky. 17 Do not rejoice in wealth from theft, 18 nor complain of being poor. 19 If the leading archer presses forward, 20 his company abandons him! 21 The boat of the greedy is left (in) the mud, 22 while the bark of the tranquil sails with the wind. 23 You shall pray to the Aten when he rises, 24 saying : 'Grant me well-being and health!' 25 He will give You your needs for this life, 26 and You will be safe from fear. |
