Mike,
I meant to get back to you about something you mentioned recently. You said
you'd been to Law School. Maybe you're an Attorney, now?
What I wondered is if you ever thought of koans in the context of the meaning
of the term, as "Public Case", where that meant to the Chinese, who invented
Gung-An (Koan, J.) practice, something like a "legal case", or the transcript
of a case. Anyway, the koans in the classical collections of koans used to
this day (and probably into the future) are still called "cases". Did you ever
have any thoughts about this? And has it influenced your relationship to koans
as you came to know them? Or, have koans influenced your Legal practice? ;-)
