    Buddhism is based on experience. When people just read books that try to convey the un-conveyable, it looks like word games. Then they repeat those word games thinking they’re spreading the wisdom.

      I like how you put that. The answer isn’t in the lesson, it’s in the practice.

        It’s nothing otherworldly; it’s just beyond words. Like the flavor of garlic. You literally can’t understand it except by putting garlic on your tongue. “Well it’s uh kinda like cheese and also like onion. Like a cheesy onion”

        “Oh yeah garlic is a cheesy onion! I get it now!”

        No. Just eat the garlic. It’s the only way to know.

      Yeah and he also told people to talk on their level of understanding.
