THE STORY BEHIND THIS TEE
This is one of the best known koans in the Zen tradition, devised by the eighteenth century Japanese master Hakuin Ekaku as a teaching tool for his students.
What is the sound of one hand clapping?
The question has no correct answer in the conventional sense. It isn't solved with logic, but sat with until the student's usual way of thinking gives out and something else opens up.
The toaster in this illustration was never asked the question. It encountered the same impossibility anyway. Dial turned to its highest setting, fully committed, no half measures, and answered with a single slice of bread burned black. Some koans take a lifetime to resolve. This one takes about four minutes and ends with the smoke alarm.
The sound of one hand clapping.
