“Not by birth does one become an outcast, not by birth does one become a Brahmin. By deeds
one becomes an outcast; by deeds one becomes a Brahmin. There are two ends not to be
sought by a seeker of truth. The first is the pursuit of desires ... and the second is the pursuit of
hardship. The middle way avoids of these ... and leads to peace, insight, full wisdom, and
nirvana."
--Buddha
