116 - What’s So Funny?

A Japanese master woke up each morning laughing a great belly laugh that resounded through the monastery, waking up the other monks. The monks wondered what made the master laugh but he wouldn’t say. For millennia, mystics have posed the question to seekers: “Why are you unhappy? Why are you scared?” Until we've seen Reality, it makes sense to us to feel unsafe; to be unhappy. Yet it's as silly as a fish afraid of drowning. This is what the master was laughing at.
