Moon and truth.

When the moon sets, people say that the moon has disappeared; and when the moon rises, they say that the moon has appeared. But, in fact, the moon neither goes nor comes, but shines changelessly in the sky. People call one phase of the moon a full moon, they call another phase a crescent moon; but, in reality, the moon is perfectly round, neither waxing nor waning. The moon appears everywhere, over a crowded city, a sleepy village, a mountain, a river; it is seen in the depths of a pond, in a jug of water, in a drop of dew hanging on a leaf. If a man walks hundreds of miles the moon goes with him. To men, the moon seems to change but the moon does not change. In reality, the true nature of all things transcends the discrimination of appearence and disappearance, of coming and going, of good and evil. All things are substanceless and perfectly homogeneous. Such discriminations are caused by an erroneous judgement by those who see these phenomena.
