Zen
Q: I wish you wouldn't use all those Zen techniques. Can't you just talk to me in plain language?
A: What on earth are Zen techniques? - I know nothing of them. I use whatever means I see fit to make you see the Truth. That is all.
Q: But who are you anyway to be making all the authoritative statements you do? I think it is highly presumptuous of you.
A: Who are you to be saying "who are you?"
