sitting in a freezer for a few days?

Nah, I was thinking more like boring shit like reading, praying, transcending fear, learning to forgive, meditating, spending time outdoors getting close to nature, stuff like that.

could I substitute that for sitting in a freezer for a few days?

Black, because zen masters are like the inane void they idolize. Zen is a cop-out discipline for those too ignorant or prideful to accept the supreme opulence of God.

Woah.

I loled.

Oh wait, you're serious.

Take a couple steps back from your assumptions, and put on a bit more pieces of knowledge before you pretend you are walking on the path of wisdom.

if he was a true zen master, wouldnt he have enough control over himself and his surroundings to turn the ring any color he wanted?

but the better question is why would a zen master be wearing a mood ring?

hah, I just realized that at the peak of my best and most enlightening acid trip, I was in fact wearing a BROKEN mood ring

- which was black, lulz

wrong, enlightenment is not about being devoid of emotion but about being filled with emotion and accepting all feelings for their individual uses and expressing yourself in a state containing all emotions at once.

hence the ring would be black

Look, the zen master
See him put on the mood ring
Look, no zen master

wrong, enlightenment is not about being devoid of emotion but about being filled with emotion and accepting all feelings for their individual uses and expressing yourself in a state containing all emotions at once.

hence the ring would be black

Apparently, at least as far as mood rings go, BLACK - TENSE, NERVOUS, HASSRASSED, OVER WORKED. (http://www.moodjewelry.com/chart.html)

If you're right it would seem that enlightenment is a seriously stressful business, which seems odd to me then that so many should try to attain it, whatever "it" is. But then we are talking about a bit of industrial goo that does nothing more than give a rough measure of body temperature.

i was only comenting on a later post that said WHITE because enlightenment was "nothingness" and i was saying how enlightenment was not about lacking emotion but controling emotion...
hence, white= lack of emotion black = lots of emotion



but its all worthless because this entire thread is about what color a mood ring would change when placed on a zen master

its one of the better koans I've read

On further thought, OP seems based on a fallacy, namely that a Zen master can control his or her moods or emotions.

While this IS true to a degree, one thing that makes a Zen master masterful is being fully aware of his/her moods/emotions and not being attached to them.
