to all the 'kokoro-no-semai soshokukeis' of the world... - and to those 'damn Buddhists', as the poet called them... [2]

The road of excess leads to the palace of wisdom;
The tigers of wrath are wiser than the horses of instruction;
One law for the lion and ox is oppression . . .


William Blake, 'Proverbs of Hell', from The Marriage of Heaven and Hell.
