"I...In school we get poor grades if we answer:<br />"I don't know."<br /><br />If we ask someone to marry us, they can't easily respond with: "I don't know."<br /><br />So, it takes great commitment and willingness to turn our conditioning towards: "In this way I train myself."<br /><br />A thousand times we need the reminders.<br />And a thousand times we bow in profound gratitude for the ancestors who have kept the Dharma alive and well.<br /><br />And may our practice be dedicated to keeping the Dhamra alive for those who are yet to be born.<br /><br />Gassho.Rico Provasolihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18192232411270958805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1046534017244699300.post-58637380608288307032010-10-06T10:47:18.225-07:002010-10-06T10:47:18.225-07:00I don't know how to take this?

What stands out for me is the "eating the menu" analogy (reminds me of "the map is not the territory", but more concrete) and the discussion of "only". But what stops me in my tracks is the questions you propose at the end. One of my habits is jumping in and finishing another person's sentence, assuming I know what they're about to say. Another is that I tend to look for the cloud in every silver lining. You remind me to pause before I speak, and ask, "Is that so?"
