minus-squareViveLaCommune [any]hexbear2·3 years ago"The name one gives is inessential. What’s in a name? That which we call a rose, by any other name would smell as sweet." Reminds of : “The day you teach the child the name of the bird, the child will never see that bird again.” (Krishnamurti) Got any more buddhist takes on "names" ? link
