Daily Zen Quote - Mar. 12, 2013

The Buddhist does not make it the purpose of his life to rise from the dead, gain the immortality of a mythical being known as self, to lay up treasure for the future, to expect some reward in Heaven...he endeavors to actualize the glory of God in the world while he is alive - the glory which he had before the world was - and which is made manifest only by following the way of God, by practicing in thought as well as in person the doctrine of non-ego, the precept of lovingkindness.
~Soen Shaku
