Hi, reader. I wrote this in 2014 and it's now more than five years old. So it may be very out of date; the world, and I, have changed a lot since I wrote it! I'm keeping this up for historical archive purposes, but the me of today may 100% disagree with what I said then. I rarely edit posts after publishing them, but if I do, I usually leave a note in italics to mark the edit and the reason. If this post is particularly offensive or breaches someone's privacy, please contact me.

From The Young Buddhists' Path To Success, by Venerable Master Hsing Yun, 1987, p. 25:

What the Buddhist youth lack today is a sense of ambition.

I'm turning this over in my head, half thoughtful and half amused.
