Buddha (Udhānavarga 5)

 "If a person realises that they are precious, they will take great care to protect themselves."


The Udhānavarga (‘Buddha's inspiring words’) is an early Buddhist collection of topically organised chapters. Udhana means "utterance" and is said to be Buddha's spontaneous utterance as a result of his inspiration ("no-question-asked", meaning that he spoke on his own, even though he was not asked). Varga means 'gathering'.
