SOME HUMOR

"We need to encourage ourselves and our fellow practitioners to lighten up and stop taking ourselves so seriously."
—Jetsunma Tenzin Palmo

The great Zen masters often laughed at enlightenment—not because it was trivial, but because realizing the nature of reality is the greatest cosmic joke. We spend years seeking something that was never lost, only to laugh when we see how simple it always was.

This is why humor is not just entertainment but a profound expression of wisdom. The ego thrives on making everything personal—our suffering, our struggles, even our spiritual path. But when we loosen our grip, we see through this illusion, and laughter becomes a sign of genuine freedom.

What if you approached your practice with a sense of lightness? What if, instead of fighting your habits or berating yourself for mistakes, you simply smiled at the whole absurd game of grasping? Wisdom is not heavy—it is as light as laughter.
