[Buddha-l] Teaching Zen Buddhist philosophy

Dear Curt,

And, though few people know this, rabbits use the product from other end of 
the intestinal tract as first stage of digestion -- the little pellets they 
produce later are formed after complete digestion has taken place.  It would 
be interesting to see how you could work this into your analogy.

Best wishes,
Stephen Hodge
