Chan Magazine Summer 2007
"A path that leads you home is a genuine refuge. Places where you can put up your feet and relax are not worthy refuges. A practice like this would be no different from using a clay ox to cross a river. You may have a sense of security when you first enter the river, but the clay will crumble and you will sink."
– Chan Master Sheng Yen, from his new pamphlet, 'Why Take Refuge in the Three Jewels'.
