Since dugpas wished to get you out of here, where you were safe, howelse should they expel you than by causing you to expel yourselves byviolence? When fools make war they expend their resources squanderingmoney and life and food until the victor loses with the vanquished,and another, who is wiser, overwhelms them both. No dugpa would dosuch foolishness. He sacrifices little dugpas, even as the governmentssend soldiers to be slain, because there are always plenty who willfill the lower ranks. But one little sleepy, stupid, belly-lovingdugpa is as useful to him as an army that a government flatters andsends to its death; because he wages war by causing his enemy tomake mistakes, and he wins not by what he himself does, but throughthe self-destroying acts of whomsoever he would conquer.
