Thanks for the laughs. I made up the following list some time ago. Background: They all relate to the idea of spiritual enlightenment, (the "IT" in the following) Another word for enlightenment is "awakening", and the advaitists assert that there is no "me", Koans are used in zen to shock the mind out of thinking mode:
Tell me about IT - Tell who?
> I don't know what IT is: Correct
> I don't know what IT is - Finally!
> For the teacher of IT: Nothingness is Everything.
> For the student of IT: Oh Crap! Now what do I do?
> For the scoffers of IT: You must be crazy. Nope, just awake
> Awakening: it's not what you think it is.
> For the spiritually ignorant: What's Zen? Yes!!!
> For the spiritual neophyte: And Zen there was one.
> For the spiritually advanced: And Zen there was none.
> For the advaitan: Go within who?
> You awake? Me too! What a Koan-cidence!
