Non Sequitur. Zen koans (actually this is a zen "story" rather than a koan) are not designed to help one avoid confronting reality through irrelevant one-liners.

Of course, if this website is where you get your "zen", from this "Sinsei Ashida Kim", that explains a lot:

Ashida Kim

This page was once a place where we posted the names of those who had offended or cheated Sensei Ashida Kim, the reasons they were selected for this distinction and our proposed course of action to rectify the situation. These miscreants included publishers and literary agents who stole millions of dollars in unreported and overseas sales, who refused to honor contracts signed in good faith and swapped Sensei’s intellectual property amongst themselves like vampires sucking the blood out of any other victim. But we stopped them. By asking people to boycott their products, by publishing Sensei’s books and videos ourselves.

There were trolls and cyber-commandoes, who, out of jealousy, pollute the internet with lies and slander and constant questions to which no amount of answer was satisfactory. All to get attention for themselves, so they could imagine and pretend that someone was listening to them, in a vain attempt to fill the awful loneliness of their pitiful lives. But we beat them. By ignoring them, by refusing to believe the trash and filth that they spew like little monkeys throwing their own feces at the zoo. For, indeed, they are no more than that.


Oh, the Zen of it!



Oh, and this is a Theravada forum. Zen stories and koans, no matter how inappropriately they are employed, are irrelevant.

Easy example:

A woman. When seeing a beautiful woman you notice her hair, eyes, lips, chest, butt etc.,

These are the signs and features which if dwelled upon will lead to lust, etc.
