Outstanding!

One day Baling said to the Layman: "Whether you can speak or whether you can't, you can't escape. Now tell me, what is it you can't escape?"

The Layman winked.

"Outstanding!" exclaimed Baling.

"You've mistakenly approved me." said the Layman.

"Who doesn't, who doesn't?" returned Baling.

"Take care of yourself." said the Layman and went off.

Buddhists, and other religious nut-bakers, look to escape that which Zen Masters directly confront. The brigading and alt-creation on this forum sets that to the public record.

There are a lot of fakers running their mouth about secret how-to-escape-dislikes doctrines found in the Layman's wink or Stretchy Ears' flower. Here are a few common ones barfed up around here contrasted with the Layman:

a) Meditating "really hard" on the "meaning" of Layman's wink will help you escape.

One day Baling said to the Layman: "Whether you can speak or whether you can't, you can't escape. Now tell me, what is it you can't escape?"

The Layman winked.

b) Sitting erect and dwelling in imaginary Pure Buddha Land will help you escape.

One day Baling said to the Layman: "Whether you can speak or whether you can't, you can't escape. Now tell me, what is it you can't escape?"

The Layman winked.

c) Just do drugs, man.

One day Baling said to the Layman: "Whether you can speak or whether you can't, you can't escape. Now tell me, what is it you can't escape?"

The Layman winked.

Addendum: Escape isn't found in approving anything these old folks said either.
