Quotation of Master Shandao
A text about ‘three choices of definite dying’ in the Commentary on the Contemplation Sutra
If I turn back, I will die. If I remain here or press on across the river, I will also die. As it is the only way of survival, I have no choice but to attempt a crossing on the path and go forward. Since the path exists, it surely must be possible to walk across it!
《觀經疏》「三定死」之文:
我今迴亦死,住亦死,去亦死,一種不免死者! 我寧尋此道,向前而去;既有此道,必應可度。
Namo Amitabha!
