    What interests me is if there is a difference between and The first question then for me is, what does ā€œmindā€ mean according to the above quoted poster? What is the ā€œmindā€?

    Rather, ā€œif people only knewā€ to read the characters. Because if you donā€™t, you do not know what the DDJ says.

    I have not found any ā€œreferenceā€. But I think it might be because the links you give are copies from 3 different DDJ versions. See https://www.thedaobums.com/topic/53594-3/?do=findComment&comment=986725 Sometimes differences are due to faulty ā€˜transmissionā€™. From generation to generation, the Chinese passed on the DDJ. Sometimes scribes made mistakes when copying. Sometimes changes were made for political reasons. Sometimes differences are due to different ā€˜transcriptionsā€™. The oldest texts of the DDJ found, were written in much older characters; most of them no longer in use. Sinologists transcribe these into Classical Chinese. Different Sinologist will make slightly different choices.

    Thatā€™s wisdom. Following someone elseā€™s path will never get you were you need to be.

    ā€œAnyoneā€ that spends ā€œendless hours correcting ā€¦ very false assertionsā€, has not got very far along the spiritual path as yet.

    Most of my convos on OD were with Chidragon. I found him to be a mine of information. And, much more importantly, a good person. We disagreed on almost everything, good times, but I certainly learned a lot from him
