Document Summary
Audio recording started: 3:33 pm tuesday, february 6, 2018. The kid is going to die no matter what- lone peak, yes the kids must die, but whether they do should not be on him or not. Very different meaning that"s hard to convey in english translation. May refer to his physical desire, something he needs to transcend. In a way, bag and prayer mat work in same wyay. Only difference- mat, you haven"t achieved englightenment and must pray on it. In order to transcend sex, must do sex. He"s no longer burdened by letter bag, his physical self- he still might do something. It symbolizes, to an extent, the leather bag. Sage creates difference between man/woman, creates sex, desire. Quote from mencius, was it not sage who invented burial images. It is practice condemned by confuciius, he didn"t like it. But in itself, it"s something invented by the sage. We should talk about distinction between woman and man.
