1)When your mind is not dwelling on the dualism of good and evil, what is your original face before you were born?
When your mind is dwelling on the dualism of not settling, what is your original face before your fear of rejection set in?


2) When the many are reduced to one, to what is the one reduced?
When the many are reduced to one, should he close his account?


3) What is the color of the wind?
What is the colour of her carpet?


4) When you can do nothing, what can you do?
He never calls, what can I do?


5) What is the sound of one hand clapping?
What is the sound of Read/Deleted?


6) Shuzan held out his short staff and said, "If you call this a short staff, you oppose its reality. If you do not call it a short staff, you ignore the fact. Now what do you wish to call this?"
If you show me your stuff when you IM me, I will call it tiny and then block and report you.


7) A monk asked Kegon, "How does an enlightened one return to the ordinary world?"
Kegon replied, "A broken mirror never reflects again; fallen flowers never go back to the old branches."
A fish asked the Forum, "How does a fish get over someone and return to the world of dating?" The forum replied, "A broken fish never swims forward; fallen flowers need to plant new seeds if they wish to grow again, and by the way - kick him to the curb"


8) If you meet the Buddha, kill the Buddha
If you meet the Bigfish, steal his ice cream.
