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

[JKirkpatrick]

Bravo--but only for the not-faint of heart! (Me, I'm too
chicken.)

Thanks and best wishes to you and yours,
Joanna

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!
