One day while sitting in the barn, u/koalazen got up from his cushion in a fit of frustration. The resident barn Donkey noticed this and asked"
"Hee-haw what is wrong with you?!"
"Im fuckin over this shit, fuck Dogen that fuckin fraud and fuck sitting, its not getting me anywhere!!"
Donkey laughs, "heehaw, Dogen said "if you cant find it here, where else do you expect to find it?", this sitting was never supposed to get you anywhere and how could it?, you're literally sitting on your ass"
Koalazen fires back "Fuck you Donkey! I dont mean "anywhere" "literally"!"
Donkey laughs, "hee haw, if not literal, must be conceptual, than don't blame the act of sitting, its you who wants to get somewhere conceptual other than here, so blame your conceptual thinking"
"Fuck you Donkey Dogen"
"Hee haw, Don't blame the act of sitting because it couldn't do the impossible for you, in fact thank the act of sitting for trying to show you this"
Upon hearing this koalazen became enlightened pwned by Donkey Dogen.
thoughts
People dont want enlightenment. They think they do. But they don't. Its scary. Some people sit shikantaza and they become disappointed. Frustrated. That they're not getting what they want. Shikantaza has a tendency to show these people that there is nothing to get nor attain through conceptualization. Thats a hard pill to swallow and they refuse to take that medicine,they want the lollipops instead. Enlightenment is a hard pill to swallow.
