What must not be forgotten is that Xu Yun’s biography is not just a ‘dry’ text of historical information, but also records and transmits the genuine Ch’an Dharma to all of humanity.

If these ruthless private firms want to make money out of our rubbish, they should collect and sort the rubbish themselves, but they do not do this, because they would have to ‘pay’ employees to do it, and this would remove or diminish any available profit.
If You Look at Papa Smurf – You’ll See the Face of Stalin
The Great Leader Joseph Stalin preserved the Soviet Union and defeated Nazi Germany – I prefer his example to that of the delusional absurdity of bourgeois religion – a backward and primitive interpretation of reality in a time before the development of modern science.
