My boyfriend's favorite Zen parable:
Master has tea and biscuits with disciples. Master throws fan at one, shouting, what's that? Disciple catches and fans self; master says, good, good! Master throws other fan at other disciple, shouting, what's that? Other disciple catches and serves master biscuit with fan; master claps, good, good!
