when you read the mumonkan

do you look at each case and think 'yep, i get it' and move on?

is there a point where you might say 'i'm finished with the mumonkan, i'm gonna read something else?'

if you feel 'satisfied with your understanding' of a case, should you submerge your face in icy water to bring you back to reality?

long-time zennists: are there any cases you read and just think 'nah i really have no idea with this one, where do i begin?'

is the way i'm looking at the book the way i'd look at a puzzle-book actually just an obstacle to my understanding?

how much time do you recommend someone spends on the mumonkan before trying to penetrate the blue cliff record?

love you all xxx
