Does the spoon taste the soup?

A fool may live all his life 
In the company of a master 
And still miss the way.

    Spoon may not taste the soup, but it facilitates user to have it! Being of use to someone is also a good virtue. Thanks +Jendhamuni Sos .

    Wow +Jendhamuni Sos fantastic words of wisdom!  Pay attention to one's environment, and ALWAYS be willing to learn, it's best.  Never assume that you have ALL the answer.   Sending you blessings for a day filled with love and happiness, my friend.  Thanks for sharing.

    When it's done it's finished
    When it's reopened
    The start has nearly begun
    When eyes open from a wake
    When a flight takes off
    When a baby breaths that first breath
    Breaking free to think own thoughts
    Good or bad bad is a soulless creature

    Impressive calm collective
    Love for a master so blinded
    Doesn't see what's needed
    Only a love
    L-ife O-pen V-ague E-motions

    a fool will always be blind. 'the spoon is still the spoon.' and if
    thats too much for your thinking cap' does the shoemaker have shoes?

    does the pig look lovely in pearls? ha ha or does the pig say thank
    you for a soup created by a masterchef? when the sun is shining –
    sorry can't resist ha ha maybe the servants spoon.' sometimes cooks up
    a better dish. maybe the masterchef gave the servants ingredients and
    they messed up.

    yes it's wonderfully entertaining..the budhists drink straight frm the
    bowl tho' as jy met die semels meng vreet die varke jou op.
    translation 'if you mix with pig fodder the pigs eat you' don't caste
    yr pearls before swine.

My Reflection

This site is a tribute to Buddhism. Buddhism has given me a tremendous inspiration to be who and where I am today. Although I came to America at a very young age, however, I never once forget who I am and where I came from. One thing I know for sure is I was born as a Buddhist, live as a Buddhist and will leave this earth as a Buddhist. I do not believe in superstition. I only believe in karma.

A Handful of Leaves

Tipitaka: The pali canon (Readings in Theravada Buddhism). A vast body of literature in English translation the texts add up to several thousand printed pages. Most -- but not all -- of the Canon has already been published in English over the years. Although only a small fraction of these texts are available here at Access to Insight, this collection can nonetheless be a very good place to start.
