Perfect.

Thanks for sharing. This circular perfection is found in many forms, for example:

• A mantra is both a question and answer
• A practice is a focussed relaxation (a tight loosening)
• A koan is a question without an answer

So in this sense we laugh without the need for the joke

In the Vinaya or monastic rules, the Buddha made it clear that monks were not allowed to laugh so much that the teeth could be seen.

Before sitting this morning, a question arose. Though not focused on it, it also didn't pass but sat like an urn on a mantle - present only, and setting a fine example. As I ended my sitting, the answer to the question presented itself as both truth and punchline. I laughed and then searched my mind for someone to share it with who might also enjoy a laugh from it.. You all got (s)elected. The question was, "What am I lacking in this moment?" The answer? "Nothing" Spot on.

badum-tch!

Joke from my 8 year old:

How does a tree get on the internet?

It “logs” on 😆
