Seeing The Buddha
A line caught the young monk's eyes: "All Buddhas arise in the human world; no one achieves Buddhahood in heaven." With that verse, all doubts hanging in his mind evaporated. With great joy, Yin Shun found the answer to his question. According to him, it was that day he saw the Buddhas—these Buddhas existed in this world.

Famous quotes containing the word buddha:
“After Buddha was dead, his shadow was still shown for centuries in a cave—a tremendous, gruesome shadow. God is dead; but given the way of man, there may still be caves for thousands of years in which his shadow will be shown.—And we—we still have to vanquish his shadow, too.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
