\nas if they are wiser than every teacher,
\nwhile they have nothing wiser to teach.<\/p>\n
\nwhy not teach perfect wisdom with perfect compassion
\nto benefit countless like the Buddha now?”<\/p>\n
\nFrankly, it is so clear he is dedicating his poetic message to me…
\nplease do not refer people as fools.<\/p>\n
\nmuch like other fools,
\nIF, and only IF they resonate with the \u2018poem\u2019 above.
\n[Who assumed it to be for whom? Who resonated with it?]
\nBut real fools might not use it for reflection?<\/p>\n
\nthe fool is thereby wise,
\nwhile a \u2018fool\u2019 is called that fool
\nconceited that he\u2019s wise.<\/p>\n
