A meme that makes fun of the famous philosophical quote “I think, therefore I am” by René Descartes. The quote is a statement of self-existence and rationality, as it implies that one's ability to think proves one's existence. The meme shows a bald zen master meditating with a bowl next to him. The man is sitting cross-legged with his hands resting on his knees. The background is a purple and pink cloudy sky. The text on the image reads “Evil Zen Master be like: I think, therefore I am”. This is a sarcastic and ironic twist on the quote, as it suggests that the Zen master is not really meditating, but rather thinking about himself and his ego. The image is meant to be humorous and absurd, as it contrasts the idea of meditation as a practice of detachment and awareness with the idea of thinking as a source of identity and pride.

The text is attributed to Eileen Luders, a professor of neurology at UCLA, who conducted a study in 2016 that compared the brain age of meditators and non-meditators.

The text is as follows: We should train ourselves to regard our thoughts purely objectively, as we observe any other phenomena in the Universe - rain, thunder, etc. The aim is to overcome the common notion that a certain little separate self, or Ego, is thinking and to realize the truth that thought is simply occurring, that is to say: 'Thoughts are a part of the general process of the Universe.'

A quote from G. Constant Lounsbery, an American author, poet and playwright who lived in France and founded a Buddhism society there. The quote is about a method of meditation that involves counting mentally up to a certain number while thinking of nothing else. The quote says: 'Certain Bhikkhus advise beginners to count mentally up to fifty or one hundred while thinking of nothing but the counts. He who is able to count one hundred without any distraction has learned to concentrate. It is still better if one can count up to three hundred. The simplest method is to be keenly interested, so that the counting does not become mechanical or fatiguing. - G. Constant Lounsbery'

Meme that makes fun of the simplicity of some meditation courses. It shows a hand that is about to press a blue button that says 'ANY COURSE ON MEDITATION BASICS'. The text on the bottom of the image says 'FOCUS ON YOUR BREATH'.
