"The power that is not good--that is, the power that causes misfortune--is, after all, only a bad dream. The life that is not good--that is, disease--is, after all, only a bad dream. All discords and imperfections are, after all, only bad dreams.It is our bad dreams that give power to disease, misfortune, discord, and imperfection.It is like being tortured by some demon in our dreams; but when we awaken, we find that there is actually no such power, and that we had suffered at the hands of our own mind."
- Seicho-no-Ie. Nectarean Shower of Holy Doctrines. From here.
