a koan

I seem my face has aged many years
in one day
this crooked mirror.
but I still recognize my yellow eyes
the rest don't seem to be mine
this mournful expression is not mine
it's an obsession and a witchcraft
Ouija? What's that?

First of all, you're looking into a mirrored powder bottle cap.
It really is a crooked reflection.
What are you scared of?
but you didn't solve the “old woman in the mirror doesn't recognize herself” koan.
Solve it now or I'll show you your skull to identify yourself in this mirror.

I solved it a long time ago. The secret is in the word “self.”
All three are illusion - the old woman and the mirror and yourself.
Buddha Amitofo is the Diamond Sutra.
You don't understand old age. You used to be young. You were always young.
eternal spring? it's just a style name with a training mannequin.
I don't think I can this challenge is too level of bleakness for me.
but you saw that reflection and didn't recognize it? it's you.
Well, because I saw a pretty woman blooming in the bathroom mirror this morning.

No, we're interested in the curvature of the reflection now.
You saw it as yourself and you were horrified.
I'm showing you what old age is.
and I'll show you what death is.
You're looking into the two-way mirror of love.
Not many people can stand that look.
so who's in the reflection?
Who's watching?
but I'm neither there nor there!
I looked again. Everything's fine.
Reflective surfaces are dangerous things.
Anyone could end up in the shoes of Gorgon Medusa.

If Perseus looked into his shield, he'd be petrified, too, you bet.
This koan is high level.
It's a high-level koan that everyone has to solve.
Who do you see in your reflection?
Yeah, that goes for everyone.
Something reflects something.

It's dark and otherworldly.
Is this coming from someone whose friends are all ghosts or one leg?
That koan is creepy.
You have to answer about the identity of the reflection and you.
No, it's not an identity.
Identity with looking in the mirror?
Not either.
Identity with the imaginary self?
No, not either.
Well, you're nowhere to be found, then that's the correct answer to this quiz.
I'm pardon me, but where am I Buddha?
Are you ready to solve another koan?
No! Thank you.

old age is the one enemy you can't beat.
I know, Carlitos. Thank you.
but you don't realize what it is and it's not what you think.
We don't agree with reflections. We don't have them.
we're not reflected in this world.
Thank you, Mr. Dracula.
The zen school is truly amazing.

Shifu! The Japanese school has overtaken the Taoists!
That's impossible. Of course we're flying on clouds.
and roll up the great limit.
Let's not say it's not humble.
Their interpretation is the result of a crude translation.
All three obsessions are in your hands.
Thanks to Shifu.
No reflection can frighten us.
Immunity to other people's obsessions is a Taoist coat of feathers.

Shifu, but I was once defeated by a female Skunk.
Yeah, I made a judgment call, of course.
And I never look in mirrors in my sleep.
even though I don't know I do.
No one will praise me. That's a known fact.
is this game on top of theirs?
We got a lot of points.

It's weird. I didn't write that. It's the neural net again.
