The Brevent, by its central position, exactly opposite the Bossons glacier, enables one to watch the parties which undertake the ascent of the giant of the Alps nearly throughout their journey. It is therefore much frequented. We started about seven o'clock in the morning. As we went along, I thought of the mysterious words of the master-guide; they annoyed me a little. Addressing Ravanel, I said,
The world has lost its master-guide, and, men bereaved of him, the way is lost; old age, disease, and death, self-sufficient, now that the road is missed, pervade the world without a way. What is there now throughout the world equal to overcome the springs of these great sorrows? The great cloud's rain alone can make the raging and excessive fire, that burns the world, go out.
My companion was equally inspired by the scene, and from this moment I began to think that I should not have to ascend Mont Blanc alone. We descended again to Chamonix; the weather became milder every hour; the barometer continued to ascend; everything seemed to promise well. The next day at sunrise I hastened to the master-guide.
Wealth, riches, self all given up, unnamed, I still am named 'Righteous Master. And bringing profit to the world, I also have the name 'Great Teacher'; facing sorrows, not swallowed up by them, am I not rightly called 'Courageous Warrior? If not a healer of diseases, what means the name of 'Good Physician? Seeing the wanderer, not showing him the way, why then should I be called 'Good Master-guide? Like as the lamp shines in the dark, without a purpose of its own, self-radiant, so burns the lamp of the Tathâgata, without the shadow of a personal feeling.
