"Let it Be"
-Beatles

This has been an incredibly worthwhile read, thank's to everybody!

When one reads Butterfly's long post and considers the subjects are two that he doesn't know much about, one almost faints at the thought of what it would look like if he was to write about something more familiar

(I disqualify myself from active participation in this discussion, because although my interest is keen, my linguistic skills fail big time on this level )

Don't stop! This is one of the best threads I've ever seen, I'd hate for it to end.

It's the way of things. Like Avalokitesvara/Kuan Yin, find enlightenment in the silence between words and sounds. Or posts and threads.

"A person who is alone can’t hold a conversation. A drum has to be hollow for its sound to reverberate. Absences count. Words limit. Interpretations differ. What isn’t said is also relevant. Absolute Truth cannot be expressed in words. It must be experienced.

And then, in eloquent silence we best reveal that we have awakened to the Dharma." -Han Shan

If "evil" is distortion of truth, then what would "a fool's gold" be?

I'll pretend that the irony was purposeful .

Yes...please Oldman...cut the thread. Let it be complete as is. I do prefer some threads be closed and have an ending.

agreed...let it be.
