RE: The Absurd. Albert Camus and Zen.

My favourite Zen teacher, the late Daido Loori, related this absurd gem to an assembly of his students.
Student: You said that enlightenment is an accident.
Loori: Yes.
Student: Well, if it's an accident, why do we need to work so hard at zazen all the time.
Loori: Because zazen makes you accident prone.
