You’re doing very hard-work, I can’t even imagine – going through all these profound statements of the sages. I only hope your labour here will not go in vain – that, like Tozen predicted – it will be praised in the future. It’s like Nietzsche said – some things are written for people who are not even alive yet!
The road towards faith is extremely hard. In a way, there’s nothing easier than faith. On the other hand, there’s nothing as hard. The Infinite Life Sutra says: “It is the most difficult thing among all difficult things to believe in this Sutra.”
When we read the works of such people as Saint Augustine, John of the Cross, or Shinran, or even modern guys like Kierkegaard, we find out how difficult the religious journey can be!
But reading Your words, or Tozen’s, turns me more towards Amida – in a strange way – because you serve to remind me how hard the Path of the Sages is, how intricate, how profoundly incomprehensible for people of modest minds and limited spiritual talent!
Jure,
Thank-you for your kind compliments.
As for your own self-reference; I dunno, I still haven’t lost hope in Sansiddhah. 🙂
