ZEN KOANS 101

StillPond,

If a tree falls in the forest, and no one is there to hear it, does it make a sound?

all things come from mind

without mind, no things

where does mind come from?

"Where does mind come from?"

"All."

My answer to this koan is: If a man screams in a room full of people, will he make a sound?

Wet behind the ears

If rain falls on your face will you feel wet?
Then logically if you have been once wet.
By way of experience it can be inferred that,
the next time water falls you will feel wet.

Peat

Sorry, StillPond. I forgot part of my answer when writing it down.

Long answer: If a man screams in a room full of people, and no one (that's noone to you, Nenad) is there to hear him, will he make a sound?

Sometimes, the arrogance of humans is such that they will blindly and deafly use themselves as the standard by which to judge the senses of all!

Short answer: "I'm afraid you're going to have to make yourself more clear."


Glen.

Yours came from one of my shits.
Ours come from things. Your assertion is bollox.
End of paradox, and indeed all eastern thought.

Clearly if no-one is there to hear him, he isn't there either.
End of paradox.

Hey Friends.
I will take a stab at it. I had multiple answers for each question so I'll just pick some.
flowers, cool breezes, leaves, pure snow
Neither same nor different
Do not care about anything
