Kahl - your inital post left out the "chronological order". And because of that the caps did not come of as sarcasm.
In your second post you put in the order, but did not clairfy that what you meant about the lanterns was sarcasm.
But if you notice, after your second post I understood the sutra just not you.
Quote:
The eyes show you things. The lantern shows you things. The mind can still perceive without the eyes or the lanterns. Thus, it is the mind that truly "sees" or understands.
and
Um...the point is eyes don't see. Neither do lanterns. Only the mind sees.

The sentences have nothing to do with eachother, they are random spurts of thought directed towards confusing and confusing people more.

Well, seeing as how your sentences were random, with missing context and chronological order, you succeeded in your goal.
