"What I know," the Buddha said, "is like the leaves on that tree;
what I teach is only a small part. But I offer it to all with an
open hand. What do I not teach? Whatever is fascinating to discuss,
divides people against each other, but has no bearing on putting an
end to sorrow. What do I teach? Only what is necessary to take you
to the other shore."
