In any event, I'd need it explained to me...but since everyone who 'knows' is all of a sudden mysteriously lost for words... I might never know until I feel the need to research it more myself. and I could live with that.

Formally, did not accept the apprentice, the guru has. Find your own way, each of us should. Enlightened, understand this story, you will. Reading more koans you, i suggest. _________________________ Choice is an illusion created between those with power and those without

wolfscalissi Member Registered: 04/13/05 Posts: 103 Loc: austin, TX usa	Quote: You guys and girls get another 24 on day 9. I want to hear something, even if you don't get it, say so. "Na" in Tibetan means "pain," "ro" means "killing" and "pa" makes the word a noun. he was hit in the head by Tilopa to see if he really was a pain killer and since, upon hitting naropa, tilopa experienced no pain, transmission of the dharma was possible. hows that for throwing rocks at the moon? ^gassho^ Edited by wolfscalissi (06/10/05 06:19 PM)

I bet some lazy pseudo-guru made that story up, so that he could keep using his students! That certainly wasn't my cup of tea (or soap) _________________________ http://www.traditionalfightingartsforum.com/phpBB3/
