- Reader of the sutras: Sw Ananda Teertha.
- The sutra
- Long ago, in Japan, a blind man visiting a friend one night, was offered a paper-and-bamboo lantern to carry home with him.
- 'I do not need a lantern,' he said, 'darkness or light is all the same to me.'
- 'I know you do not need a lantern to find your way,' his friend replied, 'but you must take it because if you don't have one someone else may run into you.'
- The blind man started off with the lantern and before he had walked very far someone ran squarely into him. 'Look out where you are going!' he exclaimed to the stranger. 'Can't you see this lantern?'
- 'Your candle has burnt out, brother,' replied the stranger.
