in reply to The path to mastery
So I've been puzzling over this for a little while, trying
to think of why it seems so familiar. And after wracking the
brain for a while, it comes back to something monk-like :
...Therefore the Master steps back so that people won't be confused. He teaches without a teaching, so that people will have nothing to learn. (from the tao te ching)but that's only part of it; isn't there a simple koan that says "increase, then decrease"? Can anyone come up with a reason as to why all of the teacher's students didn't recieve the same advice?
