| Daiki: | It seems books only "lives" as long as they are taken to heart and practiced. In that sense, many sacred texts of the past are now dead. |
| Bhäraté: | Books have lifespans – just as people. We should accept the natural recycling process. |
| An-Yi: | (nodding) Yet unlike people, sometimes lost books come back to life. At times books have actually been revived. |
| Chariya: | You guys confuse books with essential teachings. Essential teaching require no books – just committed beings to embody them and transmit them . . . |
| Tim: | (shaking his head) Ahh, book-schmook-crook! Today we are flooded with so much information that few books will have much impact: they are just passing blips on a computer screen. The Great Silence of the universe is the only real "book" we should be listening to. |
