Here’s a koan for your weekend meditation…
Once the monks in the eastern and western Zen halls in Nansen’s temple were quarelling about a cat. As he saw this, Nansen held up the cat and said, “You monks! If one of you can say a good word, I will not slay the cat.”
No one could answer. Nansen cut the cat in two. Nansen told Joshu what had happened, and asked him for his view. Joshu thereupon took his sandals, put them upon his head and went away. Nansen said, “If you had been there, I could have spared the cat.”
Thoughts?
Have a great weekend, everybody! Here’s some great Lenny Bruce-ness…
