seja a luz em você mesmo

Quando Buda estava em seu leito de morte, ele percebeu que um discípulo jovem, Anan, estava chorando... e perguntou: Por que você está chorando, Anan?

- Porque a luz do mundo está prestes a se extinguir e nós ficaremos na escuridão. - respondeu Anan.

Buda juntou toda sua energia restante e falou aquelas que seriam suas últimas palavras na Terra: Anan, Anna, seja a luz em você mesmo.

When Buddha was on his death bed he noticed his young disciple Anan was weeping. 'Why are you weeping, Anan?' he asked.

'Because the light of the world is about to be extinguished and we will be in darkness.'

The Buddha summoned up all his remaining energy and spoke what were to be his final words on earth: 'Anan, Anan, be a light unto yourself.'
