*Smacks everyone with Eris's sledgehammer*

Hey, that's not haiku!
You're just counting syllables!
Stop that this instant!

Thanks for the bump, Bella...

It reminded me of how much I miss Zenji

[Bella]

You're welcome.
I wish he'd come back, too.

"If you memorize slogans, you are unable to make subtle adaptations according to the situation. It is not that there is no way to teach insight to learners, but once you have learned away it is essential that you get i to work completely. If you just stick to your teacher's school and memorize sogans, this is not enlightenment, it is a part of intellectual knowledge.
    This is why it is said, "When your perception only equals that of your teacher, you lessen the teacher's virtue by half. When your perception goes beyond the teacher, only then can you epress the teacher's teaching" "
