remember Roshi Kapleau, saying that there is this, this, this injunction in, in the sutras, hear the truth, believe it, practice it and realize it. Against with hearing what spectacularly good karma we have to be able to hear the Dharma. What does that mean? What is hearing the Dharma it means hearing?
