The will of Buddha

"We should do far better to put this vexing problem of salvation out of our minds altogether and place our reliance neither on faith nor on personal virtue, but surrender ourselves completely to the will of Buddha. Let him do as he will with us ― be it to carry us to heaven or to hell. Herein lies the secret."

- Issa Kobayashi, from "The Year of my Life", Oragu Haru, 1820.
