The Zen Master’s Stench was unbearable!
The Lama was too kind… He should have given him thirty blows and then forced him to eat the orange… skin and all!!! He, he, he!

Hahahaha.
Indeed, we often forget the obvious truths and get lost in the esoteric and the complicated, not to mention the spiritual glamour, of underlying truth and reality.
