Today's Buddhist Thought

Love this translation!

Those of superior faculties and great wisdom get the point right off the bat--guidance doesn't mean gum-beating and lip-flapping. Truly awakened people with clear eyes would just laugh.

Oooh nice! I love eastern philosophy.

True words aren't eloquent;
eloquent words aren't true.
Wise men don't need to prove their point;
men who need to prove their point aren't wise.

Chapter 81, Tao Te Ching

I love the Tao. I discovered that before Buddhism. They are very close.
