recital of the #Gongyo by Sister @TinaTurner

Gongyo is a Buddhist term I list on a post you can get to through 'the emboldened link(s)' below; but first–after a mention of the free mining-software (giving us free Bitcoin in exchange for energy we're wasting anyway)–I want to teach you about those words. And I find you understand words better if you see 'the words at their base' (then going on to look at the words at those words' bases, then the words at those words' bases, etc.-etc. ad infinitum into their Foundation)

The word “Gongyo” is built on ancient words that mean "Diligent-, Employed-, Serving Going, -Journey" (Religious Service).
