I receive regular emails from the Zen Monastery Peace Center (Livingcompassion.org). This week it threw me for a loop:

Student: At a recent retreat, one of the facilitators mentione

if I am not having fun, I am not practicing
awareness. So far my experience of practice is that it is hard… it’s not fun.

Teacher: For whom is it not fun?

“For whom is it not fun?”

What a profoundly simple question, and yet one that
has the power to confound us completely!

Fun?  Huh.  I did not get that, let alone who was the one not having fun.

This one might take a while.
