About This Quote
Once the light shines on your path, you will see clearly. This is a quote from the Great Buddha of China, who said it at a moment when he was about to give up his search for enlightenment. He knew that each time he fell asleep, he lost another day. But he kept falling asleep anyway, because he believed that if he could make it through one day without falling asleep, then it would be one more day closer to enlightenment.
