ever heard this?
by PadmaVonSamba » Fri May 27, 2011 3:48 am
Has anyone ever heard this statement: "The innermost door, no man can open." --and if you have heard it, can you tell me who said it, or where it comes from? Thanks.
Profile Picture: "The Foaming Monk"
The Chinese characters are Fo (buddha) and Ming (bright). The image is of a student of Buddhism, who, imagining himself to be a monk, and not understanding the true meaning of the words takes the sound of the words literally. Likewise, People on web forums sometime seem to be foaming at the mouth. Original painting by P.Volker /used by permission.

That sounds like it may have been from one of the Tao Teh Ching translations iv'e read, but i could be confused. Its possible it may have been the Thomas Cleary translation come to think of it... but again it may have just been similar wording.
