Buddhist Wisdom

[tourbi]

If you wish to understand yourself, you must succeed in doing so in the midst of all kinds of confusions and upsets. Don't make the mistake of sitting dead in the cold ashes of a withered tree.

A modern response if I may:


History is not always totally meaningless
Sometimes the cold ashes of a withered tree
May be meaningful to rake and explore
Particularly if you are an acorn touching your ancestor's grave!
