Welcome back!

To know that true knowing is unknowable is true knowledge.

Thanks for sharing. I really like Jason, he's got a good head on his shoulders. I've not had the pleasure of meeting Meido Moore yet, but, I enjoy his books.

I was stationed near Dongducheon, Gyoggi-do and I first discovered Buddhism at Jajaeam Hermitage on Mount Soyosan. It's where Wonhyo attained enlightenment.
