How fortunate have we been to be born now when it is possible to see the Truth.
Great Master Dogen Shushogi
Should you live for a hundred years just wasting your time,
every day and month will be filled with sorrow;
should you drift as the slave of your senses for a hundred years
and yet live truly for only so much as a single day,
you will, in that one day, not only live a hundred years of life
but also save a hundred years of your future life.
The life of this one day, today, is absolutely vital life;
your body is deeply significant.
Both your life and your body deserve love and respect
for it is by their agency that Truth is practiced and the Buddha's power exhibited ...
Great Master Dogen Shushogi
