Quote Excerpt
Description:
人身難得今已得
人身難得今已得，佛法難聞今已聞；
此身不向今生度，更向何時度此身。
──《禪關策進》
Four-Line Verse
Hard it is to attain the human body, which I have now attained;
Hard it is to hear the Dharma, which I have now heard;
If liberation is not attained with this body in this life;
Till which lifetime shall liberation for this body be attained?
── from Chan Guan Ce Jin (The Chan Whip Anthology)
