Greetings from the Lion City
There is blindness all around. Only very few can see, many are like birds trapped in a net, only few escape and achieve liberation.....Dhammapada....

Grrrrrrrrrreat! (to have you here)
Rain soddens what is kept wrapped up,
But never soddens what is open;
Uncover, then, what is concealed,
Lest it be soddened by the rain.

Ah the merlion long time since I last visited.
Hi
Hi
Blog, Suttas, Aj Chah, Facebook.
He who knows only his own side of the case knows little of that. His reasons may be good, and no one may have been able to refute them.
But if he is equally unable to refute the reasons on the opposite side, if he does not so much as know what they are, he has no ground for preferring either opinion …
...
He must be able to hear them from persons who actually believe them … he must know them in their most plausible and persuasive form.
