Special Notice: I will state it right here and now: WE HAVE GREMLINS. Gate 78 went to the same time and space as Gate 58. Although I have no proof, I definitely prepared and posted both of them
The Seventy-ninth Gate:
Read the following, place it in your heart and sleep on it. Then, tomorrow, live it until evening when you can leave a brief comment on what you may have received during the process.
Right livelihood is a gate of Dharma illumination; for [with it] we get rid of all evil ways.
A “Dharma Gate” is a teaching or practice that can lead to spiritual growth: some kind of positive outcome in terms of our practice. A way to approach the truth.
Koan:
We talk a lot about what we should understand, but what should we do? At the center of the Noble Eightfold Path is Right Livelihood, which stands in stark contrast to all of the ways that people can cause suffering in human society and the natural world. For more and more of us this is not such a great mystery in its basic practical forms, but there is always more to be done and more to be understood.
Most note worthy replies:
Once we establish the intention and act accordingly, the evil ways are automatically prevented.

Working as we must,
the heart of the Bodhisattva
seeks only to light the path.
Doing the good work
We plant seeds
That bear fruit for all
