Hot water

“So if you use hot water to stop a boiling pot, it will only boil all the more; those who know the root of the matter simply take the fire away.”  Wen-Tzu 175, in The Taoist Classics: The Collected Translations of Thomas Cleary, vol. 1, p. 295.

The post concludes a triad beginning with “Meditation Fails Me” (27 June 2024).
