I think it's a version of 'be a light unto yourself'. It amounts to the same thing.

What I am saying is that if one holds on to Buddhism as a system then the attachment will always be there. Whilst there is attachment there is continuity of the self. I don't know whether you see this. When the self is given continuity it continues in its daily cycle, building up layers of duality and then there can be no freedom. Buddhism may give a start but it isn't the journey, because there is no arrival. When you see there is no arrival, why would you need a path?
