Thanks!!! A very impressive person indeed. Oh Yeah, she really is!!! http://www.elisabeth-rochat.com/biography.html Online study? yes Who is he? This is Peter https://www.oocdtp.ac.uk/people/peter-smith , the online classes just started few weeks ago with more 3 crazy Brazilian folks, all of them also acupuncturists. Cobie, I got a copy of this Krol's book you mentioned and I realize that I have this dictionary addon installed on Pleco app that also come with another interesting consideration about those two characters, as we can see on the book A Dictionary of Chinese Buddhist Terms by William Edward Soothill (also in pleco app as free dict.), p563 (https://terebess.hu/zen/Soothill-Buddhist-Dictionary-of-Chinese-Terms.pdf) : " 知 To know. Sanskrit root vid, hence vidyā, knowledge; the Vedas, etc. 知 vijñā is to know, 智 is vijñāna, wisdom arising from perception or knowing (+ a buddhist deeper meaning of knowing that object is inseparable from the total experience of reality).". Although I fully agree that makes no difference to the this DDJ chapter, interesting to see 智 as a wisdom that arises from knowing 知. Also realized now that 知 is upper part of 智 + sun on the lower part 日 having this ideographic of : Known 知 clearly 日. I hope you don't mind about those Buddhist/Sanskrit considerations. And in addition, thank you all: Cobie, Ilumairen, Mango and Blue eyed snake for your attention! On 27/10/2022 at 6:45 PM, Cobie said: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
