Koans (chinese: kung-an, korean: Kong-an, means \u201cpublic case\u201d) have their origin in the records of encounters between Zen practitioners in ancient China. Koans are probably best known for the unusual, seemingly non-rational quality of their questions, language and dialogues, and are not meant to be studied, analyzed or approached conceptually. The koan is a tool that helps us to return to our don\u2019t-know-mind so that we can only clearly perceive and function. It is an essential part of Zen practice.<\/p>\n
\nDzs\u00f3dzs\u00fa egyszer megk\u00e9rdezte N\u00e1m Cson mestert: \u201eMi az igazi \u00fat?”
\nN\u00e1m Cson \u00edgy v\u00e1laszolt: \u201eA mindennapi tudat az igazi \u00fat.\u201d
\n\u201eAkkor pr\u00f3b\u00e1ljam megtartani, vagy sem?”
\nN\u00e1m Cson v\u00e1lasza: „Ha megpr\u00f3b\u00e1lod megtartani, m\u00e1ris hib\u00e1zol.”
\n\u201eHa nem pr\u00f3b\u00e1lom megtartani, hogyan tudom meg\u00e9rteni az igazi utat?”
\nN\u00e1m Cson v\u00e1lasza: \u201eAz igazi \u00fat nem f\u00fcgg a meg\u00e9rt\u00e9st\u0151l vagy meg nem \u00e9rt\u00e9st\u0151l. A meg\u00e9rt\u00e9s ill\u00fazi\u00f3; a nem \u00e9rt\u00e9s \u00fcress\u00e9g. Ha teljesen el\u00e9red a nem gondolkod\u00e1s igazi \u00fatj\u00e1t, az olyan, mint a t\u00e9r, tiszta \u00e9s \u00fcres. Akkor h\u00e1t mi\u00e9rt hozol l\u00e9tre j\u00f3t \u00e9s rosszat?”
\nDzs\u00f3dzs\u00fa ezt hallva megvil\u00e1gosodott. Mit \u00e9rt el Dzs\u00f3dzs\u00fa?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\nOften, Zen students want to \u201ckeep it\u201d. That is a big mistake. Zen means when you are doing something, just do it. You already know that understanding is illusion. Don\u2019t be attached to your understanding! Correct practice means \u201cHow does your understanding get digested and become wisdom?\u201d That is true everyday mind.<\/p>\n
So why make kong-ans? Since everybody understands too much, we must use understanding medicine. What did Joju attain? If you open your mouth, it\u2019s already a mistake. But if you are not thinking, the answer is pure and clear, always in front of you.<\/p>\n
