People Language & Dhamma Language
| People language, Dhamma language, why such a mess? Isn't people language by itself good enough? What kind of stuff is spoken in people language?You mean people just listen and need not reflect? And what stuff is spoken in Dhamma language?But who can understand such queer sounding stuff? People language is for people, isn't that true?And where will Dhamma language lead us? |
It helps preserve language, little brother! It can never express Dhamma that is profound! Simple matters that people understand without thinking!Even if they must think, they use people meanings! Those that lead into the Path & its Fruits!Realizers of Dhamma savor it deeply in their hearts! The more they talk, the further from truth they are!The more one speaks it, the closer to Dhamma's heart! |
