Koan on the Teaching Never Explained
The teaching never explained is a Zen koan that conveys a teaching of the Buddha. In a moment close to his death, the Buddha confessed to his disciples that he had explained nothing. What is this teaching that he never explained?
A koan is a Zen riddle that challenges the rational mind and seeks to induce an intuitive understanding beyond words.
Master, what is the teaching never explained?
It is said that throughout his life, the Buddha never gave any teaching. Look within your heart. Listen to the silence.
What is a koan?
A koan invites us to transcend the need for a logical explanation and to seek truth through direct experience and introspection. Ultimately, it urges us to let go of our dependence on words and open ourselves to the vastness of knowledge that lies beyond the conceptual mind.
