This might the break the rules but I seen him up for 50 k and 40 k at different times in last 3 days . <| sep |> Yet Toronto ' s property tax is more then ideal when you ' re talking about the GTA tax alternatives . Try living in King or Aurora . You need to feel the tax hike too , not just us north of the city my friend . I pay 1200 dollars more a year for my 500 k house then you do . Now if I use these roads I have to pay an additional 100 m ? Fuck off . <| sep |> Spare me the ideological purity . I ' m doing what I can . <| sep |> Never played Resident Evil . I always expected it to be more horror and less Dead Rising . <| sep |> literally to encase an exemplary example of prajnaand praj · na , noun , Buddhism direct insight into the truth taught by the Buddha , as a faculty required to attain enlightenment . To parse statements for literal truth , to forge a pathway to understanding is one thing . Was there a resemblance between prajna and what Joshu was pointing at ? Joshu adopted a way of speaking that was a discontinuity from the system of expression in the language of the buddhist teachings . Why ? You call it encased , use the word literal . But encased and literal are still in the realm of a truth model , a system of referring to seeing through a particular set of constructs . Any faculties that Mazu was referring to are not a gift of any system . They are like the pebble that can be picked up and tossed . Ordinary . Direct pointing is not to point at ideas , to any system . Bible , news , sutras a mirror , parable , metaphor , sure , the zen examples don ' t do that either , I appreciate that . The part I question , and it may just be the way we are habituated to using language , there are habits in the way of using words , even when trying to point with them , is that the reference in zen , what is being shown or pointed to , might not be what we thought , or think . It might not contain any ideas at all . It might be that the world of no ideas can be apprehended without ideas . If that could be the case , then we would not be continuing to use words like truth and encase and prajna when referring to what Dongshan was saying or doing . When people have a hard time looking , maybe we could pay attention to how we are pointing ? The words we pick up , the words we drop .
