It is often said that the buddha's teaching is only a raft to help you cross the river, a finger pointing to the moon. don't maistake the finger for the moon. the raft is not the shore. if we cling to the raft, if we cling to the finger, we miss everything. we cannot, in the name of the finger or the raft kill each other. human life is more precious than any ideology, any doctrine.

The tragedy of preparedness has scarcely been handled, save by the greeks. life is indeed dangerous, but not in the way morality would have us believe. it is indeed unmanageable, but the essence of it is not a battle. it is unmanageable because it is a romance, and its essence is romantic beauty.

A religious belief is not a statement about reality, but a hint, a clue about something that is a mystery, beyond the grasp of human thought. in short, a religious belief is only a finger pointing to the moon. some religious people never get beyond the study of the finger. others are engaged in sucking it. others yet use the finger to gouge their eyes out. these are the bigots whom religion has made blind. rare indeed is the religionist who is sufficiently detached from the finger to see what it is indicating - these are those who, having gone beyond belief, are taken for blasphemers.

What you and i need to do is learn to forget our differences. when we come together, we don't come together as baptists or methodists. you don't catch hell 'cause you're a baptist, and you don't catch hell 'cause you're a methodist... you don't catch hell because you're a democrat or a republican. you don't catch hell because you're a mason or an elk. and you sure don't catch hell 'cause you're an american; 'cause if you was an american, you wouldn't catch no hell. you catch hell 'cause you're a black man. you catch hell, all of us catch hell, for the same reason.

The radiation left over from the big bang is the same as that in your microwave oven but very much less powerful. it would heat your pizza only to minus 271.3*c - not much good for defrosting the pizza, let alone cooking it.

The roman empire controlled the world because it could build roads . . . the british empire was dominant because it had ships. in the air age we were powerful because we had airplaines. now the communists have established a foothold in outer space.
