Buddhistdoor Quote for Today: Qiyuan Xinggang (1597-1654)

A worn, patched robe hangs from my shoulders.
When hunger comes, I eat; when tired, I sleep.
Sitting firmly on a meditation mat, I completely forget the world,
as the sun and moon shift as they please by the window. — Qiyuan Xinggang (1597-1654)
