Buddy Dog is a character doing all the things a character does, but as a modern guru is not strictly limited to those. In fact, Buddy Dog has goals way beyond our perception and expectations.
WHAT IS*
BUDDY DOG?
Our whole universe is wrapped around this very question: What is Buddy Dog Thinking? Buddy Dog is the enlightened guru who is the only one who could answer the question, which he never does – or does he?
We’ve probably all stumbled upon one of the most famous of Zen-koans: "what is
the sound of one hand clapping?" – and possibly everyone has at some point in their lives met a person who seems to have the answer to this question (and actually pretty much to all questions). However, the answers that this kind of a person provides, not so much just turn the table, but even more so take you out of the house, into the woods and leave you sitting in a bit of confusion – like all proper guru answers do.
If you were to ask Buddy Dog where your keys are, he might point you to look into your pockets, despite the fact that you don’t have any pockets. Or if you go looking for advice in your career he might point out that it was raining on the day before, but that it might not rain the day after.
So we do take a bit of fun out of mindfulness, gurus, enlightenment and all sorts of spiritual ‘self actualisation’ very much in zeitgeist.
However, at the same time we do acknowledge the wisdoms in these topics; as Buddy Dog always points out, usually the question itself already possesses the answer, and instead of trying to understand ‘What is Buddy Dog Thinking’ one would be better off in trying to understand what they themselves are thinking.
And like all proper cult building gurus say in the beginning: in no way are we looking to establish a following, or become a cult, or are we in no position to say that Buddy Dog is enlightened. But like everyone very well knows, that is exactly the plan and we are 100% sure that Buddy Dog is as enlightened as one can be. If only we could first figure out – what is Buddy Dog thinking?
