Kris,
I still think we have to speak the people's language: our own.
That is the Bodhisattva way.
Everything can be mis-read: that's "why" we are around to straighten and
re-straighten when people ask further (also why Zen literature as a stand-alone
source for practitioners can be a hazard: a teacher and sangha are always good
adjuncts. And, we're around to be straightened out by other folks ourselves,
not forgeting!).
Also the Bodhisattva way.
Good that you note the pitfalls! Not to be disabled by them, though. "To
boldly go where we and others have erred before".
You're also right that some things take care of themselves.
You *DO* have a finger on the pulse, Doc.
