Posted July 20, 2020 (edited) One fine summer morning, Dog woke up in his Doghouse, yawned, streched and strolled over to the food bowl in order to have some breakfast. As he was meditatively chewing away on a chicken bone, a strange question popped up in his mind... "Hmmmmmmm, I wonder who I am", he thought. "Like, who am I really?" He tried to shake off this seemingly silly and pointless question, but it wouldn't leave him alone; it kept gnawing at him in very much the same way that he was gnawing at the tasty bone between his teeth. Finally he went to a Zen master in the hope of gaining some clarity. After he put forth his question, the master raised his eyebrows, gave him a funny glance and asked back: "Who do you think you are?" - "Well... I guess I am Dog." The master looked at him sternly and said "dude, you got it all backwards." Edited July 20, 2020 by Bazooka Jesus Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted July 20, 2020 (edited) This was the spontaneous and un-premeditated fruit of today's morning meditation. Man, I'm telling ya, I am reaching levels of depth and profundity now that I didn't think were possible before. HAH!

Posted July 20, 2020 (edited) Don't know if dog came to zen master or zen master came to a dog. #Diogenes You got it all backwards. Dog shows clarity to zen master and asks zen master profound questions. Edited July 20, 2020 by zeroISinfinity Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted July 20, 2020 (edited) If I was wise guy would never show interest in spirituality in first place. But damage has been done. Dog is much wiser. Instead of answering silly question looks to eat and get bitches. (not insult don't know other word for female dog) Edited July 20, 2020 by zeroISinfinity Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
