If I remem right, "The place on the mount, up from the sea, where the people meet to overcome evil." (with an undertone of self-immolation {cutting}, apropriately) I say 'researching;' the whole (initial) study took like an hour.

Ha by reading all the others, of course; more than once. I find the Tao the most useful, on a practical basis, but it does not reverberate like Scripture; neither does the Qur'an, so far anyway. My theory is that they focus on man's failings, and so are in a sense 'dead' spiritually. I note that they are both pretty clear upon first reading, whereas there is still a lot of Scripture that just makes no sense to me, and the relevant commentary (usually) strikes me as...well, they were written by better men than I, so nvrmnd.
