Have you ever tried koan/Koan? I haven’t. Not yet anyway. I am, however, more than intrigued now that I have seen this photograph of John Tarrant, a Zen master, radiating such full-blown-happiness laughter. Aren’t you? Perhaps you would like to know how he defines this concept:
“A koan is a kind of technology, a hack for the mind. It strips our opinions and views away….[it] surprise[s] you by transcending the terms on which you took [it] up. [It] draws you into a different way of seeing and experiencing your world.” ~ John Tarrant (b. 1949)
