Yeah; Thich Nhat Hanh talks about a flower being made of non-flower elements.
Only after all the non-flower elements are all together do we have a flower!
Dunno why this Hindu teacher is now front and center here, however. Strikes me
as a little funny!
Pretty elementary teaching from the Hindu master, there. He is obviously
addressing people who have never practiced. He is engaging them in the area
(arena) of Intellect. Making an argument. Phooey.
But, we all start somewhere, sometime. Hats off to the old man and his
Beginners.
