A monk sits at the peak of a hill that overlooks where the grassy Earth meets a river, the river flows with a breeze, and the breeze explores a mountain range, and the mountains neighbor the sky, and the sky conceals the entire universe, hiding the unknown in plain sight. The monk exhales “Ooooomm”. He repeats this until a noise, very faint, breaks his chant.
“moo.”
The monk stops for a moment but, without changing his position, dismisses it. “Ooooooommm.” He begins again.
He’s interrupted again, “moooo.”
The monk turns to find a cow looking up at him from the bottom of the hill. “Kind cow,” the monk says, “please do not interrupt my meditation.”
The cow stares blankly back at the monk. The monk sighs and continues.
“Oooooommmm-”
Even louder, “Mmmooooooooo.”
“Dear cow, I must reach enlightenment. Please, refrain from making your cow noises or find another hill.”
The monk continues again, “Oooooooommmm-”
“MMMmmoooooooooooO!” The cow exclaims.
The monk stands up angrily, “Cow! Why must you interrupt my chanting?”
The cow replies, “Because you’re saying it backwards!”

In search of spiritual enlightenment, I travelled to India and encountered a mystic sage that worshipped flat bread and flat bread only.
He was a naan believer.

How do lesser cheeses reach enlightenment?
They study the teachings of the Gouda.

My most enlightening appliance is my alarm clock.
Whenever it rings, I get woke!

An almost enlightened Buddhist was working on the set of Wheel of Fortune…
He was near-Vanna.

If you believe that you are fallible, human, and entirely incapable of enlightenment, then you are enlightened.

All of the above, charming, clever, sweet, etc. So nice a way to start the day. No nasty comments, rants and raves.

Agree with Rose – Not funny! That’s a big-time jerk move, Jimbo! And she even said “please”!
