Buddhistdoor Quote for Today: Colorful blossoms may indeed be fragrant, / but someday they must scatter. / In this world of ours, who / can remain forever? / The deep mountain of conditioned phenomena— / today, let us cross. / No longer shall we experience shallow dreams, / nor shall we be intoxicated. — Kūkai (Kōbō Daishi; 774–835 CE)
