To save all sentient beings, though beings are numberless.
To penetrate reality, though reality is boundless.
To transform all delusion, though delusions are immeasurable.
To attain the enlightened way, a way non-attainable.

Re: Iconography - what does the Soto Zen Buddha look like?
When I went to a Tibetan Shrine room some of the statues had little padded sleeping bags. They looked so comfy and snug, like their mum had just tucked them in Outside the shrine room some of the Buddhas had been made little hats out of foil jam tart cases!
And there's a Buddha statue in Vietnam wearing spectacles - I'm afraid I can't find a picture on the net - but it's funny how you have to do a double take because of the specs.
