I'm obsessed with this question. Sometimes I ask Yang for fun. She always replies that she would slap me, just like a Zen master responding to a stubborn pupil.
I might have met a couple of true Zen masters lately. Some responses that I got recently when I asked the question are:
- No – Just one word, no explanation.
- I got slapped repeatedly until I have to run away.
- Take a bath- what does that mean
- Flip over
- Stupid
- I cannot see
These were the answers given by my sons 4 year old and 3 year old. This has been fun for them, being chased by me asking this silly question. But I might be closer to understand the meaning of life after this experience anyway.
