If you are invulnerable to harm,
seemingly able to live forever,
what would you do?
Would you become a great villain [e.g. Octopus]
who goes all out exploit and harm others?
Since there are no apparent consequences?
The ultimate harm has to be the harming of others –
that which does not lead others or oneself to lasting happiness,
that which leads to unhappiness of others and oneself.
Would you become a great hero [e.g. The Spirit]
who sticks one’s neck out to help others?
But how much can you help the countless vulnerable and mortal?
The ultimate help has to be the giving of the Dharma –
that which leads to true invulnerability from all suffering,
that which leads to true immortality of timeless Nirvana.
