I’ll admit it, I love koans. The best part is there is no right answer and you can interpret them in multiple ways. But the really really good part is, when you compare notes with another and see the differences, you get to know that person a little bit more. #zen #Buddhism #koan

I love koans, but I might not take them as seriously as I'm supposed to.

@babble_endanger It’s hard to choose from. But the Face One intrigues me.

@farah koans make me think of my conversations with toddlers

The student asked the master, "where is the chicken dance"

The master answered, "it is in our hearts"

The student replied, "no! The chicken dance is in the music!"

The master bowed his head and wept. "Today you have revealed a truth to me! I am closer to enlightenment." — The student asked the master, "where is the chicken dance" The master answered, "it is in our hearts" The student replied, "no! The chicken dance is in the music!"
