Book 12 Page 14

Hold on, let go

And the pope proclaimed to the congregation.

“Hold on to your faith!

Hold on to your faith!”

And the Guru proclaimed to his gathering.

“Let go of every thing you know!

All you’ve got to do is to, ‘let go’!”

------

And then one day the pope and the guru met.

And the pope said to the Buddhist Guru.

“Let go of your Faith!

let go of your Faith!”

And the Guru replied.

“Hold on to that idea!

hold on to that idea!”
