I know a lot of people that mistake the finger pointing at the moon for the moon...a Hotei quote
“Truth has nothing to do with words. Truth can be likened to the bright moon in the sky. Words, in this case, can be likened to a finger. The finger can point to the moon’s location. However, the finger is not the moon. To look at the moon, it is necessary to gaze beyond the finger, right?”
Cats usually want to smell the finger, but yeah. It's a bit like those who mistake
the Bodhisattva for enlightenment, itself.
The moon is such a great thing to illustrate so many things. I use it on flat Earthers.
earthers be like ....it's turtles all the way down...
My cat will fetch but only if she sees me throw her toy...if she does not see it, it does not exist! You know about bodhisattvas ❤🙏🌺
