山林是勝地 一營戀便成市朝 書畵是雅事 一貪痴便成商賈 蓋心無染著 欲界是仙都 心有係戀 樂境成苦海矣 (後 37)

Even in a beautiful place with mountains and forests, once people get attracted, becomes a crowded market. Even writing and drawing as noble things, once get greedy, make artist be a trader with avarice. If there is no obsession that usually dyes one's heart, the world would turn into a city of gods. If one's heart gets entangled with attachments, even paradise would turn into a sea of suffering. (Book2 37)

Love or preference without attachment is prerequisite of the first class ticket to paradise.
