A Sword Lamps “How many lamps are there that light up the world? We’ve come to ask the worthy sir: how are we to understand this?” “There are four lamps in the world, a fifth is not found. The sun blazes by day, the moon radiates at night, while a fire illuminates both by day and by night. But a Buddha is the best of blazes: this is the supreme radiance.”
