Yes indeed, but as Seirin replied to the monk,"You will meet a deadly snake on the great road. I advise you not to run into it."
Wise words indeed.

A valid point, but you need to take on board the following:Sozan asked Elder Toku,
"'The true Dharma-body of Buddha is like the empty sky. It manifests its
form corresponding to things -- just like the moon on the water.'
How do you explain the principle of this corresponding?"
Toku said "It is like a donkey looking into a well."
Sozan said "You put it in a nice way, but you were able to say only eighty percent."
Toku said "How about you, Master?"
Sozan said "It is like a well looking at a donkey."
