    "misinterpreted..."

    By Yutang Lin

    "Teaching of "Non-form" indicates non-attachment to form.
    Misinterpreted, it is adopted as holding to absence of form.
    Abiding in no forms at all, one falls into the abyss of void.
    Only in no grasping to form or non-form lies true liberation"

    Namaste Nuno,

    "In ancient times skilled worriers before searching the enemy's´vulnerability ensured themselves of their own invincibility."

    A true quote for all times. Like in Indian Hindi films heroes say "Kaanch ke ghar me rahene wale pathar nahi faikte hai" .

    Yet I do not see any connection with the subject of the citation of Yutang Lin? A personal matter?

    Regards,

    Om
    That which is without letters (parts) is the Fourth, beyond apprehension through ordinary means, the cessation of the phenomenal world, the auspicious and the non-dual. Thus Om is certainly the Self. He who knows thus enters the Self by the Self.

    Namaste Atanu,

    " Yet I do not see any connection with the subject of the citation of Yutang Lin?"
    The conection it's about Formatiom. Wich is one of the specialitys of the wutang school i.e. fighting formations.

    " A personal matter?

    A paradox isn't it? A part containing the whole, . And yet we are on HDF.
    No it's not personal. I only think people should discuss being true and learning to learn in this case in order to speak is a very important thing.
    A man shoul always be close to it´s method and should not engage in sterile timeless conversations. Just to prove that words are money.
    - What wore we talking about?

    So, what you quoted was also from Yutang Lin or from the same school? Is it like that? Your citation "skilled warriers before searching the enemy's´vulnerability ensured themselves of their own invincibility", is definitely a great all-time verity. One's own demons need be subdued first. And similarly, I do not find, 'Only in no grasping to form or non-form lies true liberation', as mere sterile.

    Thanks for the clarification. Regards.

    Om Namah Shivaya
