Re: What is the Sound of One hand clapping?
Okay--I probably shouldn't do this, but...
When I was a kid, there was an older kid down the street. We grew up together, and someday I will write about all the great things associated with him. I realize this is on the "Eastern Thought" and " "Buddhism" board. But Eastern thought surely includes humor, right? My friend down the street actually taught me how to clap with one hand. It is cool. It is physical, but one must believe one can achieve it before one can actually do it. It amazes my grandchildren--  Forgive me--I just had to tell this-- (It is apparently quite strange for people who have never seen it, but it is perfectly normal to me --It's all in the wrist--no wait--it's all in the mind--no wait.... ....InPeace, InLove |

Gee, I'd better take it easy on the Zen.
 That said, here's my own compilation of koans:

Re: What is the Sound of One hand clapping?
Namaste all,
Mu.. i particular find to be quite excellent in Koan practice. it took quite a while before i was able to understand this one.. and i think that my understanding of it is rather provisonal... for a 20th century Koan: What is the mass of a massless particle? metta, ~v |
