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!

Sitting down and meditating and letting truth and/or reality reveal itself is the way. 😊🙏🏻

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!
