Pull your own arrow...


Seeking your own happiness,
you should pull out your own arrow:
your own lamentation,
longing,
& sorrow.

With arrow pulled out,
independent,
attaining peace of awareness,
all grief transcended,
griefless you are
unbound.

Salla Sutta-The Arrow


Arrow-Suffering(dukka),
Pull the arrow-to realize the Four Noble Truths
Unbound-Fully enlightened- Nirvava
