As one of those connected with the Viet Minh, who went from South Vietnam to North Vietnam in 1954, remarked to the regional post of the Viet Minh, Buddhism is pervasive but formless. For that reason it is difficult to crush, It has its organizations that are simple to shatter, but Buddhism itself remains. It is like a drop of mercury: you can strike the mercury and it will disintegrate into many smaller parts, but as soon as you remove your fist, they all run together again.
