One day Eizon, a Saidai-Ji Temple monk who dedicated himself to the welfare of society, swore an oath: “From my heart, I believe in the Shakyamuni Buddha. I beg, should I reincarnate, let me be born to a place with good and evil, that I won’t forget my desire to attain enlightenment, and my consideration for myself and all living things. Because all of existence, including me and my parents before me, is bound by the wheel of Samsara.” That was his oath. How do his words echo in you?
