Once there was a well known philosopher and scholar who devoted himself to the study of Zen for many years. On the day that he finally attained enlightenment, he took all of his books out into the yard, and burned them all.

Once your research is gathered, it must be digested. You must read through it all and understand it all. Only when you know this material thoroughly is your research truly done. At that moment you may burn all your books.

Enlightenment in research comes not in rote memory, but in synthesis. If someone were to ask you about the subject, would you parrot back what you have read? Keep reading. Would you instead tell them all they need to know from your collected stock of knowledge? Light the fire.

Making knowledge your own is at the heart of the Te of Content. Your synthesis of information is the virtue of your site.
