that's good enough for me

From http://nebuddhist.blogspot.com/ - "I am Buddhist because I suffer and want to end suffering, for myself and all sentient beings."

That's about it, though I'm not so concerned about other sentient beings. In fact, truth be known, there are probably sentient beings I would drive up on the sidewalk to run over if I thought I could get away with it. So my daily vow that "Beings are numberless; I vow to free them," rings a bit hollow. However, the next line, "Delusions are inexhaustible; I vow to end them," is much more believable. It's a path, I guess, and I'm only a step or two down it. So, yeah, the above quote rings quite true.
