This Week's Quote




Gasan instructed his adherents one day: " Those who speak against killing
and who desire to spare the lives of all conscious beings are right.
It is good to protect even the animals and insects. But what about those
persons who kill time, what about those who are destroying wealth,
and those who destroy political economy? We should not overlook them.
Furthermore, what of the one who preaches without enlightenment?
He is killing Buddhism."

From...Zen Flesh, Zen Bones...(63)...page 56.


Ponder this Killing.
