.One who particularly inspires me: is Lance Armstrong. Who was diagnosed with cancer and had a poor prognosis, yet here he'd win the Tour de France cycle race so many times! He has published a couple of books. I have only read one. He has so much determination in the face of such great odds both in his career and his health. I am very impressed with the way he has worked to help others with cancer by setting up the Lance Armstrong Foundation in the USA.

."Tosui was the Zen master who left the formalism of temples to live under a bridge with beggars. When he was getting very old, a friend helped him to earn his living without begging. He showed Tosui how to collect rice and manufacture vinegar from it, and Tosui did this until he passed away.

While Tosui was making vinegar, one of the beggars gave him a picture of the Buddha. Tosui hung it on the wall of his hut and put a sign beside it. The sign read:

Mr. Amida Buddha: This little room is quite narrow. I can let you remain as a transient. But don't think I am asking you to be reborn in your paradise."
