Were you to attain but a little progress in meditation practice, at the moment of death you would not be dragged under by the force of negative karma, even if you have not attained enlightenment in this lifetime.
Sutra in The Mirror of Zen by Zen Master So Sahn
Commentary:
Rather than strive to reach the peak of the mountain of enlightenment, I am currently content taking one step at a time up the long, steep incline. Any little bit of work toward bettering my spirit counts!
