There is no bird. Why would it fly Or stay in tree?
You must tell me.

No Enlightenment No Wisdom
No Life No Origin
No Closeness No Openness
No Purity No Defilment
No Happiness No Suffering
No Stillness No Motion
No Annata No Annica
No Samsara No Nirvana
Samsara is the realm of suffering caused by greed, hatred and delusion.Nirvana is relinquishing all conditioned existence.

What about ice-cream? Any of that going? Where it's cool, in the cooler? That stuff they make with no animal fats, you know? I ate some and projected my mindvoice into a passing rook and he looped the flippin' loop and wing-wobbled at me as true as I'm typing these words. |

'Quack' birds.
A koan that gives an extreme answer isn't worth the paper its lining the bird cage with. if the universe was concerned with poetry, a very 'no bird' bird would fly right over now and serendipitously deposit a 'no poop' on our empty little 'no heads'.
What's the point of a koan with an 'answer' anyway?
Duck!
Regards,
harry.

I asked like the woodsman says, and the flips, loops, bobs and fluffs says, 'listen' I am is the question. Now another brew up - tulsi brahmi. |

do not worry, i think every couple of months this topic is brought up in some way, between all the posters here we generally have the same stuff come up again and again as people come to differing understandings.
