@dioma The koan does like this (paraphrasing):

A man is smoking a cigarette in the temple and dropping his ashes on the Buddha because he believes that all things are Buddha and thus the statue of Buddha is no different than an ashtray. What would you say to him to help him?

The man is very strong and will not allow you to hit him, and you cannot use force. He knows enough about Zen to understand all things have Buddha nature, but is unenlightened.

What would you do?

@dioma No, it was a bit of a misunderstanding. There is a saying that if you see the Buddha, you should "kill the Buddha", because the Buddha is not separate from yourself, so any separate Buddha is a false Buddha.

The conversation was about why Buddhists bow to statues of Buddha if they're not supposed to respect a Buddha outside of themselves, and then the exchange took place.

There is another koan about "dropping ashes on the Buddha" I will tell you in the next comment.

This video was randomly recommended to me and it's only 15 minutes long but it has it all, including a Buddhist Master who draws penises on the walls of temples.

@spectre Well if Subscribestar kicks me out then it's back to dancing for spare change at the circus again.

@spectre No, they did sent the August payment to my bank account, and closed my account so I can't refund you, but at least Patreon didn't keep your money.

Sadly, I can't give you access to the MMM on SubscribeStar without you donating over there again. On the plus side it's only $5.

@spider There is no happiness without suffering. No love without hate. No pleasure without pain.

In fact, this reminds me of a video I saw a while back . . . one sec.
