[Buddha-l] as someone already said, so many books, so little time

[Weng-Fai Wong]

The traditional Chinese solution to this problem that seems to have 
worked for centuries is as follows: (a) put book in an urn that's big 
enough to contain it, (b) set it on fire, (c) make sure book burnt 
completely, (d) let urn cool, (e) pour in cold water into the urn, and 
(f) pour mix of ashes and water into a cup and drink. You become one 
with the book.

Happy holidays!
