Hey, OHP, I noticed that you forgot to include the commentaries. I went through my copy and appended them, just in case.

A student walked in on Master Yoshi masturbating.
"Haven't you heard of knocking?" shrieked Yoshi.
At that moment, the student was enlightened.


Mumon's comment: What knowledge does the student acquire in this koan?
Who has the right to Yoshi's time?
Is it the student who seeks enlightenment?
Is it his DVD of Naked Zen Sluts 12?
The student hears the sound of one hand clapping.



A student of Master Rama's asked him, "What is Zen?"
The Master beat the student's face until he needed stitches. An MRI scan later revealed there was a mild concussion.


Mumon's comment: Enlightenment, which the master had attained, can not be given. If the student seeks it, he must alter his way of thinking.

Master Suzuki walked through a garden, instructing his pupils. One of them forgot his robe.
Suzuki looked the student up and down, winked, and did finger-pistols.


Mumon's comment: What use is a robe to attaining enlightenment? Why do students wear robes?
Nature imbues all things.
Has a student buddha-nature?
Why does Suzuki wink?
In this moment, Suzuki sees the student.

I GET THE FEELING THAT THESE ARE NOT ACTUAL KOANS

THESE SOUND MORE LIKE THIS AMERICAN LIFE SEGMENTS
