"Since nothing is more precious than life itself, one who dedicates one’s life to Buddhist practice is certain to attain Buddhahood. If one is prepared to of fer one’s life, why should one begrudge any other treasure for the sake of Buddhism?? On the other hand, if one is loath to part with one’s wealth, how can one possibly offer one’s life, which is far more valuable?"
