Zen Living Part Eleven (summarized): A Koan is a koan is a koan...
by JimmyPage ina koan is a puzzling or illogical question, statement, or story to help the zen student transcend logic, intellect, and notions of duality.. koans seem silly or absurd precisely because they are undermining preconceived notions.
to take the absurd seriously is to foil logic.. knowing the intellectual answer to a koan, or someone else's answer, is not knowing the answer to a koan.
each individual must perceive the answer on an internal and intuitive level.. traditionally, a zen teacher assigns an appropriate koan to a student who periodically meets in private with the teacher to offer answers.

Traditionally, a Zen teacher assigns an appropriate koan to a student who periodically meets in private with the teacher to offer answers. The qualified Zen teacher can tell whether the student has truly understood the koan or not.
Some of the more famous koans are "What is the sound of one hand clapping?"; "Does a dog have Buddha nature?"; "Why did Bodhidharma come from the West?"; and "What is Buddha?"

Are more men leaving the WT than women???
by changeling intalking to a couple fellow posters the other day i made the observation that there seem to be more men on this board, and, in particular, more married men whose wives are still "in".
i could be wrong about this, but that's how it seems to me.... so, provided my observation is true, why do ya'll think that is?
why are men waking up while the women lag behind?

I think in any religion it is the women who usually drag their husbands to church. As Homer Simpson used to say, "Stupid itchy church pants!" Then Marge would groan.

I'm less worried about the authenticity of Obama's birth certificate than I am of Sarah Palin's high school diploma.
