Wishing you a wonderful, wide-awake day. Inhale the sweet essence of existence as it dissolves into nothingness, like drops of dew. 🌹
In Zen Buddhism, there is a special stick called kyōsaku (教策), which translates as "encouragement stick", or "awakening stick". It is used to slap those who fall asleep during meditation. People may also be slapped at their own request. We are clearly ready for a beating!
