A list of puns related to "Peace Gardens"
A monk was tending a garden when he noticed a dove and a raven squabbling in a tree. He turned to the birds and asked them, “What is the sound of one hand clapping?”
Immediately the dove quited down and contemplated the question, ignoring the continued harassment of the raven.
Emboldened, the monk turned to the raven and told it, “Out of nowhere, the mind comes forth.” The raven notes this wisdom and was peaceful, but the dove did not hear his words and again rose a great ruckus.
The monk smiled ruefully. “Truly it may be said that you cannot still two birds with one kōan.”
