Koans:
introduction
In this cyber koan, there is no Roshi, therefore, it has been pared down to the barest minimum; to solve it, you just need to choose. That is, the koan is just about choice, in and of itself.
To paraphrase Ramana Maharshi, your duty is to choose, not to choose this or that.
First there
are three practice sessions then you will have 2 seconds
to solve the koan.
Would
you like to solve a cyber-koan?
A Koan is a task you must solve to reach enlightenment. A well-known koan
is "what is the sound of one hand clapping?" Others are "tell
me what you looked like before you were born," and "swallow up the
Pacific Ocean in one gulp."
In the typical case, the Roshi gives you a koan and you must demonstrate the correct answer. There are an infinite number of possible answers to choose from; to pass, however, you must choose the right answer.
