Wu Shan Lu
By Rev. Paul Yuanzhi Lynch
One of the core tenants of Zen Buddhism is Kōan practice. The original concept of Kōan, although associated with Buddhist practice in the West is not strictly a Buddhist term and translated means “a public case,” “a public exchange,” “a public situation,” or “a public document.” The pronunciation of the Chinese characters (公案) for Kōan is Gōng-àn in Chinese or Kōng-an in Korean. The common use for this word comes from ancient China, and referred to a situation when copies of a government document were produced, the scribe would use a “chop” or seal on the copy in such a way that half of the seal was on the original document and half was on the copied document. This would allow for future verification of the authenticity of the copy by matching the two halves of the seal.
