"All the sublime teachings, so profound--to throw away one and then grab yet another will not bear even a single fruit. Persevere, therefore, in simply one."

Gee, you know, if my ancient memory is correct, then the resistor in the picture has a value of 1 ohm.
Gold tolerance band, too. +/- 5% ?
----------------------------------
Wow, it's nearly 50 years since I had to think of that!
As I remember it goes like this:
(Bad Boys Ravish Our Young Girls But Violet Gives Willingly) ......for the colors
(Black Brown Red Orange Yellow Green Blue Violet Grey White) and the tolerances
Gold, Silver, and nothing at all for....
5%, 10%, and 20% tolerance.
That's how I was taught to memorise it.
That was 1965, I was in military electronics school; and not knowing that immeadiately would usually earn you a day of KP (Kitchen Police) washing up after the cooks in the dining hall.
Not sure of that 3rd color though.
If it is a grey that makes it 9 places...or 100 Mega Ohms, which may be the intended joke.
But I could be wrong....becuse it has been a LONG time,
Shame on you Shakyamuni for setting the precedent of leaving home.
Did you think it was not there--
in your wife's lovely face
in your baby's laughter?
Did you think you had to go elsewhere (simply) to find it?

"Do not block your six senses; delight in them with joy and ease.
All that you take pleasure in will strengthen the awakened state.
With such a confidence, empowered by the regal state of natural mind,
The training now is simply this: lets your six senses be at ease and free." - Princess Parani

All beings since their first aspiration till the attainment of Buddhahood are sheltered under the guardianship of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas who, responding to the requirements of the occasion, transform themselves and assume the actual forms of personality.
Thus for the sake of all beings Buddhas and Bodhisattvas become sometimes their parents, sometimes their wives and children, sometimes their kinsmen, sometimes their servants, sometimes their friends, sometimes their enemies, sometimes reveal themselves as devas or in some other forms.
