I did stumble on a reason to use the side of the true dharma; the ink or carbon on the written side may rub off on you ass. So to prevent black ass disease, use the true dharma side. I did not speak the dharma, I spoke about it. Which, of course, in my opinion is all anyone can do. So if you say anything at all (and even if you smile), you are adding commentary for future commentary, ad nauseum, but not one whit of the dharma has appeared. -- Bill Snyder (wsnyder@powergrid.electriciti.com) Living is doing not being.
