Sit down and Shut up!

Hey I donnu about you, but I REALLY like this:

"Listen!
Here's all you need to know to become enlightened:
Sit down, shut up, and ask yourself what's true until you know.
That's it. That's the whole deal; a complete teaching of enlightenment, a complete practice. If you ever have any questions or problems, no matter what the question or problem is, the answer is always exactly the same:
Sit down, shut up, and ask yourself what's true until you know.
In other words, go jump off a cliff.
Don't go near the cliff and contemplate jumping off. Don't read a book about jumping off. Don't study the art and science of jumping off. Don't join a support group for jumping off. Don't write poems about jumping off. Don't suck up to someone else who jumped off.
Just jump."
Jed Mckenna quoted from Spiritual Enlightenment
