Why this, why now?

What is a Koan?

kōan /ˈkoʊ.ɑːn/

A kōan is a story, dialogue, question, or statement, which is used in Zen practice to provoke the "great doubt" and test a student's progress in Zen practice.

--Wikipedia

"You can hear the sound of two hands when they clap together, now show me the sound of one hand."
