Not! I loved this, from beginning to end. Starting with "drinking tea in order to drink tea," in the context of being simple and present was a clear example of a distinction I found useful from another teaching (I think it was Landmark Education). It was to examine what we do in terms of its own direct simplicity as compared to doing it "in order to..." get or have something else, which is how we often operate in the world. Then, his rich explanation of dukka was a pleasant surprise and it helped me understand "Life is Dukka" more fully. Hyon Guk Sunim is a very clear teacher for me. Thank you Jonathan.
