Koan:

A cat pawed at moonlight on the floor; the moon remained untouched.

The statue says: “Is distance in the moon or in the paw?”

Touch the untouchable today.

Schüler:
„Kann Vertrauen ohne Risiko wachsen?“

Zen-Meister:
„Kann ein Vogel fliegen, ohne den Ast zu verlassen?“

#Zen #Koan

Alt-Text: Ein Zen-Meister und sein Schüler sitzen bei Sonnenuntergang unter einem alten Baum auf einer steinigen Anhöhe mit Blick über einen stillen See und ferne Berge. Während der Meister spricht, hebt ein kleiner Vogel gerade vom Ast ab – als würde er den Koan über Vertrauen sichtbar machen.

Schüler:
„Meister, wie schütze ich mein Herz,
ohne es zu verschließen?“

Zen-Meister:
„Ein verschlossener Brunnen stillt keinen Durst.
Lass nicht jede Tür offen –
aber verriegle nicht das ganze Haus.

Zu viele Mauern halten auch das Leben fern.“🌿

#zen #koan

Ein alter Steinbrunnen im warmen Abendlicht. Unter einem ausladenden Baum sitzen sich ein junger Schüler und ein alter Meister schweigend gegenüber, während in der Ferne Meer und Hügel im goldenen Licht verschwimmen. Ein ruhender Hund verstärkt die stille, nachdenkliche Atmosphäre.
