This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

It is making fun of a specific format. Buddhist lessons usually go this way, someone has a question in mind, asks a guru, the guru replies with another question, and then the seeker gets enlightened.

This joke is brilliant because, like any good parody, it works well as an example of what it parodies.

As someone who reads a truly absurd number of xianxia novels and having heard more buddist lessons and middle way philosophy then most.

I laughed for a good while at this meme. I can confirm is pretty dang accurate.
