 The Sound Of One Hand (SOH)

The Sound of One Hand: 281 Zen Koans with Answers. Translation, research and commentary by Joel Hoffmann. Introduction by Dror Burstein. NRYB, 2016, 304 pages. VSCL, Paperback.

There are 144 koan cases, starting on page 75. The full text for each case is followed by possible acceptable answers or responses to the koan. The first 74 pages are very brief questions and answers regarding 137 other cases, without the full text for each case. Therefore, the total cases discussed are 281 koan cases. I have indexed only 148 Cases.

Zen Master Raven Koans Collection Indexes

Zen Master Raven (ZMR) Indexes

 

Zen Master Raven: The Teachings of a Wise Old Bird. Compiled and annotated by Robert Aitken. Illustrated by Jennifer Rain Crosby. Foreword by Nelson Foster. Wisdom, 2002, 2017, 229 pages. VSCL, Hardbound. 183 Brief Koans.

Most koans feature Master Raven giving answers or comments, and asking follow up questions; therefore, I choose to use the character Master Raven is talking to for the Student/Learner/Responder/Questioner under the index heading of "Master, Teacher, Responder." Otherwise, nearly all 183 koans would have been listed under Master Raven. Just automatically assume the central teacher in nearly all of these koans is Zen Master Raven.

Quintain Poetry: Two Older Rhyme Schemes

Here are a two rhyme schemes for those writing quintain poems.

I do research into Quintain Poetry.

Spanish Quintain (Quintilla)

ABBAA

ABBAA Spanish Q #862, 1465, 1485, 1575, # 1666, 1800, 2211

Spanish Quintain Rhyme Scheme Prosody

A. Two aphorisms and bourbon on the rocks.
B. Two witticisms and whipped cream on the pie.
B. Two comparisons that catch the keen eye.
A. Two images that knock off your socks.
A. Two contrasts that leave some shocked.
- Mike Garofalo, # 1465

There are other rules and options for the
Quintilla form in the Spanish language.

English Quintain

ABABB

Examples:

ABABB English Q #726, 1197, 1498

English Quintain Rhyme Scheme Prosody

A. Colored flashes in the window pane
B. Christmas lights glowing red and green.
A. The homeless man has no name,
B. Sits in cold dark tent unseen,
B. Wearing a sock cap of red and green.
- Mike Garofalo, # 726 

English Quintain: "The English quintain follows a rhyme scheme of ABABB, in which the final two lines form a rhyming couplet. Though an English quintain requires an ABABB rhyming pattern, there is no established foot or measure." Example:

"In the golden lightning
Of the sunken sun,
O'er which clouds are bright'ning,
Thou dost float and run;
Like an unbodied joy whose race is just begun."
- Percy Bysshe Shelley

There are other rules and options for the
English Quintain form in the English language.
