Hey y'all, just became enlightened the other day and wanted to share some of my gripes. Enlightenment is not all fun and games you know!


On the bus yesterday the driver asked "would you like to buy a ticket?" I got confused and asked him who he was referring to exactly so he pointed at my spirit vessel and said "you".

I posed the question to him: "who is the one who asks to buy a bus ticket?"

Then he started calling me a crazy person and told me to get off the bus, even when I tried to politely explain to him that I have passed through the gateless gate, into the realm of the Dharmakāya where no 'self' or 'being' exists, he just would not listen and kicked me off.


People always just assume that us enlightened folk are like them and create the perception of a 'self'. I'm totally equanimous about it of course but I would prefer it if people asked first.

ADBOT LOVES YOU

friend: that's cool, man. I wish I could say that
me (whispering to other friend): thank you...
