pertaining to the number of insects in the whole world?
Rather, inquire into his knowledge of
that which is to be practised by us

Amazing.
Thanks for sharing, Tilt.

Cool :D
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.

Finally tilt...an apt mascot for the long rebirth thread... :mrgreen:
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.
