  • Koan Meditation
    Name:
    Koan Meditation
    Status: Member
    Description: The koan has been used as a tool to enlightenment by Buddhists for centuries. Buddhists know that the ultimate mystery cannot be explained in words. Spirit transcends language, our rational mind, our cultural understandings. The koan, sometimes seeming meaningless, can convey reality directly. Meditation on the meaning of the koan can bring deep and profound understanding. We think that we might study these together, attempting to put the meaning into words. Together we are smarter than each. Together we are ONE. We are ONE in SPIRIT.
