Bhikkhus, if you develop and make much this one thing,
it invariably leads to weariness, cessation, appeasement, realization and extinction.
What is it? It is recollecting the Enlightened One.
If this single thing is recollected and made much,
it invariably leads to weariness, cessation, appeasement, realization and extinction.

What is the use of his knowledge
pertaining to the number of insects in the whole world?
Rather, inquire into his knowledge of

This offering maybe right, or wrong, but it is one, the other, both, or neither!

I think this is true. My ex wife wore alot of lipstick and i did kiss her at times and she quite often remarked at how stupid i was. She was apparently unscathed.
We must respect the other fellow's religion, but only in the sense and to
the extent that we respect his theory that his wife is beautiful and his
children smart.
