[edit] Cameo Wood

[edit] A Parable

One day Cameo was walking by the banks of a raging river.
She was reading the Diamond Sutra, and stepped dangerously near the shoreline. 
A passing monk came up to her and said, "Please be careful, or you will drown." 
Cameo replied, "The Diamond  Sutra will save me". 
The monk said, "The Diamond Sutra has never saved anyone." 
He grabbed the scroll from her and threw it in the river. 
Cameo, furious,  jumped in after it, and with much difficulty brought it back to shore. 
The monk said, "On the other hand, everyone saves the Diamond Sutra."
