Bill!,<br/><br/>You could well be correct about the story not being used as a 
recognised koan. But I'm sure I've come across it being used as such a couple 
of times. <br/><br/>I can see how "Ah!" could be used as you say, but it isn't. 
The point I'm arguing here is that in the story - a Zen teaching 'device'- a 
perception was used by the man to illustrate Buddha Nature. The man didn't just 
say "Sweet!" as a passive description - he exclaimed his perception 
positively.<br/><br/>Mike<br/><br/><br/>Sent from Yahoo! Mail for iPad
