View submission: A Couple of Questions Regarding Koans

1. The shock factor, pushing you outside of your comfort zone, and trying to subvert your expectations, especially around what question and enlightenment look like, are all extremely useful tools.

2. Drawing pictures from the stories, lives and experiences of masters, and sutras is great! And as long as you’re upfront, humble, and don’t act pretentious or pose as something you’re not - I don’t see why there’d be an issue. Especially if you have dharma brothers and sisters who are looking at it, and are part of a sangha and training with a teacher already.
