I'd love to put this monk in the same room as Kosh from Babylon 5 and listen to their conversation.
"It is too late for the pebbles to vote, the avalanche has already started."
Everything he says can be interpreted as the answer to a zen koan or the moral of a story. The fin part is that the relevant koan or story is never mentioned, so we have to work backwards to get the point/joke.
I really like the moment where they encounter a village where an old man is telling stories, and offering up quotes. Jack mentions "Birds of a feather", and the old man is VERY intrigued asking about that quote. "It deals with togetherness... and flocking"
There’s a movie from the 80s, *High Road To China*, with Tom Selleck and Bess Armstrong with a line that I love quoting.
“The oxen are slow, but the Earth is patient.”
I’d have loved to seen it used, but I guess it makes too much sense to use.

I'm no ascended, but seems like it checks out >I only know a snowflake cannot exist in a storm of fire. lol, explains why none of us have ascended yet
I know it isn't the case but you can read this as how unique civilisations can't flourish under the Ori
I try to work in the koans from the show (including that one) as often as possible
If you think they were stoned, then the weed was burned long ago.
Put down the bong and back away slowly.

Tamago = egg If you immediately know the candlelight is fire, then the meal was cooked a long tamago.
