I find myself frustrated with some of the kôan-speak on this forum.

I want to learn about zen, but when an interesting or valid question comes up, the response is sometimes in kōan-speak.

e.g.

Q: “So, how do you get rid of the kleśas?”

A: “The golden leaves of the Oak tree, fluttering in the wind.”

The above actually is a question that I have but I’m worried that I won’t get an answer that isn’t a fucking haiku

Why do y’all have to be like this?
