Though, like, vaguely familiar and made reference to by Dogen and others, I think it's, it, it, it's like a, a, a fun, you know, thing that people do, is to take- one line of Nagarjuna and then interpret it or find some I've never done this because obviously I'm going for the source text but I'm sure there's onion layers of various interpretations of of any of the things that Nagarjuna said or wrote and probably the original Sanskrit is better than an English translation and probably maybe this isn't even the best Garfield's doing his best but after all he is a cartoon cat he's more proficient at eating lasagna than no you know what I mean Garfield's the name of the translator not the same as the cat obviously well all right if uh if we have a very abstract definition of enjoyment I hope that you enjoyed it uh otherwise I know that you didn't and I apologize that you sat through it but you know it's kind of on you you could have clicked away at any time um but no okay the good thing about you know this is uh we're done with it now and we won't have to do it again for about a month because it takes about a month to get through the cycle of 10 on the clock next up is a zero it'll be episode 340 and on the zero episode we read the life and liberation of Padma Sambhava if you would like to get a head start on that I think we're up to it'll be like Padma Sambhava part 23 or something like that I'm not 100% sure about that but here's the Padma Sambhava playlist if you would like to do that to watch that okay thank you Nagarjuna and I apologize if I have offended you I'll go ahead and do our usual closing to the north and to the south to the east and to the west to the spirits of light among us and to the spirits below we send out our reverent love and compassion may all beings be happy may all beings be serene may all beings be in peace until next time
