Comment on Anon finds enlightenment

  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.
