1) Nothing. One hand cannot clap….
2) Half the sound of 2 hands clapping….
3) Air….
4) A bowl of rice….
5) A cup of tea….
6) “A Book of Verses underneath the Bough,
A Jug of Wine, a Loaf of Bread—and Thou….”
7) A crazy old guy doing a jig on thin ice….
8) “Heard melodies are sweet, but those unheard are sweeter.”
9) A snowflake in a whirlwind….
10) “The thunderous silence of the drums.”
11) It depends….
12) The Isness of Is….
13) Mysteries in mysteries, potential in potential….
14) Zen?
