That's funny

 

Actually, I think we're all shamans around this place.

I hope that wasn't meant to imply that we all talk too much. Hehehe.

[manitou]

or Uniqueness means to be like oneself

 

 

 

Interesting translation, and it seems to ring of truth. In order to understand the uniqueness of a person or situation, one must have the same quality within oneself.

[lienshan]

In order to understand the uniqueness of a person or situation,

one must have the same quality within oneself.

Or understand, that uniqueness makes an understanding based on a comparation impossible?

[ChiDragon]

In order to understand the uniqueness of a person or situation, one must have the same quality within oneself.

Yes, it takes one to know one.

Silence is the natural state; emptiness

And so the strong wind of the morning when the sun touches the cold ground,

Although strong, soon passes.

Spring showers although heavy leave rainbows shortly after starting.

Even the stars and the earth earth will pass.

So those that follow the path, are the path,

those who abide in its virtue are virtuous;

they are welcomed by the path and by it's virtue.

Those who are attatched to what is lost, are with loss,

and those who do not trust, can not be trusted.
