164. Other versions of Isan's saying:
'With phrases, without phrases, are just like wisteria leaning against a tree.'
'The sentence of being ["u"] and the sentence of nothing ["mu"] are just like a wisteria vine twining around a tree.'
'Expression and no expression are like vines clinging to a tree.'
Are these different versions saying the same thing?
