These are the things that run through my mind while enjoying pho at Lucky's pho in Mira Mesa Black Mountain Road, just north of Mira Mesa blvd (connected to Lucky Seafood). Daily treat that can't be beat from North County to San Y'sid' ... best pho in the land from Alabama to the DMZ From Hanoi to Houston. The master was preaching these and other great realizations in this morning pre-pho meditations and I thought that I should share the pho-losophy with you...
The embodiment of Pho:
Even the finest teaching is not the Pho itself.
Even the finest name is insufficient to define it.
Without words, the Pho can be experienced,
and without a name, it can be known.
To conduct one's life according to the Pho,
is to conduct one's life without regrets;
to realize that potential within oneself
which is of benefit to all.
It is the nature of the Pho,
that even though used continuously,
it is replenished naturally,
never being emptied,
and never being over-filled,
as is a goblet
which spills its contents
upon the ground.
The Pho is abstract,
and therefore has no form,
it is neither bright in rising,
nor dark in sinking.
Both knowledge and experience are real,
but reality has many forms,
which seem to cause complexity.
By using the means appropriate,
we extend ourselves beyond
the barriers of such complexity,
and so experience the Pho.
