Without Practice,

No Emergence

To know and

To understand

are different.

Even though we know,

Without putting

that knowledge to practice,

we cannot understand.

Just reading

a description of

medicine’s good effects

Won’t cure an illness.

Zen also is something we

cannot understand

until we put it to practice.

So So FodaFoda!!

Dear UENP,

I appreciate your kind hospitality while my short stay in Bandeirantes.

Really a short stay, but it turned out to be my life-time memory.

I’ve never imagined to be there with you when I started creating Astah.

“Life is about the people you meet, and the things you create with them.”

Let’s create our next dream, together.

Thank you, all, especially, Prof.Carlos and Fabricio!
