| Chapter 25 : respect god's will 01 Do not laugh at a blind man. 02 Nor tease a dwarf. 03 Nor cause hardship for the lame. 04 Do not tease a man who is in the hand of the god, 05 nor be angry with him for his failings. 06 Man is clay and straw, 07 the god is his builder. 08 He tears down, he builds up daily. 09 He makes a thousand poor by his will. 10 He makes a thousand men into chiefs, 11 when he is in his hour of life. 12 Happy is he who reaches the West, 13 when he is safe in the hand of the god. |

| Take fine, clean barley and moisten it for one day; then draw it off and lay it up on a windless place until morning ... again wet it and dry it until shredded ... and rub it until it falls apart. Next, grind it and make it into loaves ... just like bread, and cook it rather raw, and when the loaves rise, dissolve sweet water and strain through a sieve. |
| ~Zosimus, 5th Century Chemist, Describing Egyptian brewing process ~ |

| Quote of the moment |
| Leaving aside memory - which allows us to remember, for example, the experiences of our youth - we all have latent and unconscious tendencies that arise under certain circumstances and influence the way our minds react. Such tendencies are the product of powerful experiences in the recent or distant past, which cause us to react unconsciously without our necessarily remembering those experiences. It is difficult to explain these tendencies and how they manifest other than by saying that they are the imprints of past experiences on the subtle consciousness. |
| ~ The Path to Tranquility, September 9, 14th Dalai Lama ~ |
