0. Language. Image. Meaning. [heart-to-heart whispering: Why must I always start with point 0? To remind myself and my readers that zeroing of mind is of upmost importance if we really want to learn.]
1. Language. It is both a bridge and a wall of communication; hence, we should use it wisely. It is of upmost importance for us to free our minds and hearts from the forms of language and get its essence. How? Catch the images and let go the forms of language through self- reflection. In Chinese, 得象忘言。
2. Image. It is both a path to and a trap against the true meaning; hence, we should handle it skillfully. It is of upmost importance for us to free our souls from the forms of images and get its essence. How? Understand the hidden meaning and let go the forms of images through self-actualization by living out what we believe. In Chinese, 得意忘象。
3. Meaning. It is both a peak and an abyss in daily life; hence, we should share with as many people as possible to clear our blind spots. It is of upmost importance for us to exercise our freewill to create new forms of language and images to communicate with people around us. We can't communicate effectively with old forms of language and images we learnt from the books or others. In Chinese, 无象而无不象，无言而无不言 means all new forms of images and language will automatically come across our minds when we free ourselves from the fixed forms of images and language.
