A Flash of Lightening

DateFriday, February 29, 2008 at 5:43AM

"Having received a human life, do not waste the passing moments. Already upholding the Buddha Way, why would you indulge the sparks from a flint? After all, form is like a dewdrop on the grass. Human life is a flash of lightning, transient and illusory, gone in a moment."

Dogen Zenji Dai Osho
Translated by - Kazuaki Tanahashi
Excerpt from - Enlightenment Unfolds
