Koan

If you are not enlightened, life is maya. So what you consider as truth, is only a conventional category of perception.

Here's a contemporary koan that I have received from a good friend of mine. I just thought I'd share this with everyone.

"Who should be blamed when the leaf fell from the tree?
Is it the wind that blew it away?
Or the tree that let it go?
Or is it the leaf itself which never held tight?"
