Nope!, got it wrong in one, K. The forks are TOOLS, skilful means, which the
hungry ghosts may not know they can manipulate in the direction of others, and
not just toward their own mouths/heads. Ah, well. So, they all starve, until
the notion hits.

My own hope is more an expectation, which I've lately found, the past decades,
is not often unfulfilled. Not to say for now that it is right: one knows only
afterwards (and, one never knows for sure what one may have had to do with the
incipient development, and that is fine).
When I say, "do the best you want", and that there is a "hope" in there, I mean
it as a private citizen, with a clear understanding of the English language,
and not just as a zen practitioner.
