9 months of work. Thank you.

General Practice

I posted a koan I had written on this page about 9 months ago. Since then I have explored Zen much more and grown an even deeper fondness of it's beauty. It is a wonderful practice.
I have spent a lot of time revising and re-revising my koan to make it more in line with the style.

Any criticism or advice is well appreciated as it will be in my book.

“Tongyi's Triumph”

Master Tongyi shouted, “Empty your cup!”

Kol trembled.

The master said, “Show me your face.”

Kol bit his apple and spat it out.

The master laughed and bowed.

The two stood where one stands.
