View submission: Zen Solves *ALL* Your Problems
I didn't enjoy the OP. Maybe it felt off or tone deaf or alien? It's one thing to say there are no issues or problems in buddhism, it's maybe another to say that to someone who is currently dying or heartbroken. Even if the doctrine says so: maybe the phrasing can sound callous. And the waffling/contradicting worse, like to you it's just a game. But again: not a problem with the doctrine. I think it's instead a problem of writing structure, of set up and punchline or payoff. That'd be my interpretation.

In this world, things sound to people as they sound. What resonates with Tom may not resonate with Mary. Thank you for reading it though.
