"They look like white elephants," she said.

Z38. Ignorance is often represented symbolically as a pig, because a pig never turns his head but just snuffles on and on and eats whatever comes in front of him.

Z39. All the teacher can do is to create the situation. He will create the right situation, and because of this situation and environment, the pupil's mind will also be in the right state, because he is already there....Whenever we go into a place or participate in something we become part of it, because the environment is already created. Chogyam Trungpa
