A koan from the "Mumonkan" ("The Gateless Gate") states: "you must climb a mountain of swords with bare feet. Despite its prison-like western elevation, complete with what appear to be embrasures for ordnance, the eastern reveals it to be pastiche parish union workhouse, circa 1840, plus functionless gatepiers which stand grandiose but forlornly gateless cluttering the access. Two representatives of the major kinds of koan collections are the Gateless Barrier and the Blue Cliff Record -- the former a primary and the latter a secondary collection. |
