Today’s quote is from the late Kobun Chino Otogawa Roshi (1938-2002), who served as chief priest of Jikoji; resident teacher at Tassajara Monastery; chief priest of Haiku Zendo in Los Altos, CA; and instructor at Naropa University.  He died tragically while trying to save the life of his daughter (both drowned).  This is it–courtesy of the Gay Buddhist Sangha’s Facebook page:

The more you sense the rareness and value of your own life, the more you realize that how you use it, how you manifest it, is all your responsibility. We face such a big task, so naturally we sit down for a while.
