    A guy trying to do stupid shit like explaining reality and then a master appears like “lol rofl, what are you doing” and slaps him with a stick.

    😂

    That’s a great explanation, thanks!

    I think I’m the guy always trying to do stupid things like understand/explain reality, which is why things like koans are a bit difficult for me to understand because I try to do so literally. I suppose they only way to see is to just sit down and meditate on the koan till the metaphorical stick hits me. Thanks again!

        I’ve always tended to spend a lot of time reading/thinking about meditation and spirituality instead of just sitting. I’ve recently restarted a daily sitting practice (starting with just 5 mins at a time), which is already more than I’ve done for years. Progress!
