I just came across a wonderful collection of illustrations of the koans from The Mumonkan. The artist Mark Morse is adding a new case every week. Currently, the first 10 cases are up. There are 38 to go. These stories are ones that will challenge you and transform you as you contemplate them. These wonderful illustrations help to bring these stories to life. They can be found at the siteĀ thegatelessgate.com.
