"When one grasps at non-dharmas, then that is immediate attachment to a self, a person, a being, and a life. Therefore, you should neither grasp at dharmas, nor should you grasp at non-dharmas. Regarding this principle, the TathÄgata frequently says, āYou bhikį¹£us should know that the dharma I speak is like a raft. Even dharmas should be relinquished, so how much more so the non-dharmas?ā"
