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:
“Brute force crushes many plants. Yet the plants rise again. The Pyramids will not last a moment compared with the daisy. And before Buddha or Jesus spoke the nightingale sang, and long after the words of Jesus and Buddha are gone into oblivion the nightingale still will sing. Because it is neither preaching nor commanding nor urging. It is just singing. And in the beginning was not a Word, but a chirrup.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
