    "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" ?

      Nameless: the origin of heaven and earth.

      Naming: the mother of ten thousand things.

      Empty of desire, percieve mystery.

      Filled with desire, percieve manifestations.
