Buddha's Hand (MK16a)

View All Koans

KOAN:

How is my hand like the Buddha’s hand?
Playing guitar in the moonlight.

From Huanglong Huinan’s Three Turning Words:

a. How is my hand like the Buddha’s hand?
b. How is my leg like a donkey’s leg?
c. In the world of karma, everyone has a birthplace. What is yours?
