Za Zen koan * 2
    #28484253 - 09/26/23 09:19 PM (3 months, 30 days ago)

Thought of a few new and old koans

Thought I'd share to stop Thought
And still the mind. Hope they work.

For the baseball fans.

Does a ball pop on a bunt fly.

Do trees dance in a breeze

Wagwa dances on the sands shore

Music flows does a breeze catch the note.

What's the sound of one hand clapping

Dose a sand grain count moment

Does liquid stone burn


Have a good one

Thanks mang! I like ye one where the master tells the student to meditate on what is is to be an ox for a week and then come back. The student comes back a week later and stands at the door after being invited in. "My horns won't fit thru the door way!"

Reminds me of another

The flam is within
Does it light the way
The way is within
Can you find the path
The path is yours to travle.

This one may generate thought i was trying to stop.

Being an ox reminds me of shape shifting

To exist in the void is plesent

Namaste

Centerpoint conchesness

Hope some of you found it

Tonsil up to thought


Tongue up to tonsil
Tonsil up to thought (being you mind)

Unifies the hemispheres of the mind
At least it did for me.

Conchessness in a nutshell

A conches bliss in a hut, hell!

54. The true nature of things is to be known personally , through the eyes of clear illumination and not through a sage : what the moon exactly is , is to be known with one's own eyes ; can another make him know it?
