In a sutra it says, "If a clever
heretic studies, he will lose his life, but a clever Buddhist will gain from
his cleverness." This kind of story is found all over. [DC note: You don't have to think of the words "heretic" and "Buddhist" here in a limited away. You could say foolish and wise or whatever works for you. ] -------------------------------- Excerpt from Shunryu Suzuki lecture - 68-02-00-D as found on shunryusuzuki.com. Edited by DC
