"Does the spoon taste the soup? A fool may live all his life in the company of a master and still miss the way."
This line in "The Fool", a passage in the Dhammapada provided the inspiration for this blog.
In case people have been wondering where the daily posting titles have been coming from, they are all the names of passages from the Dhammapada, which is a collection of the Buddha's sayings. The translation that I enjoy the most is by Thomas Byrum as it is quite lyrical. Why you see a quote like the one starting one of my posts, that's where it's from.
My purpose of writing this blog is from the perspective of a fool who has realized he is a fool and is trying real hard to taste the soup and to help others do the same. More on the fool tomorrow.
