	Koan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A koan is a story, dialog, question, or statement in the history and lore of Chan (Zen) Buddhism, generally containing aspects that are inaccessible to rational understanding, yet that may be accessible to Intuition.
		Koans are often used by Zen practitioners as objects of meditation to induce an experience of enlightenment or realization, and by Zen teachers as testing questions when a student wishes to validate their experience of enlightenment.
		A famous koan is, "Two hands clap and there is a sound; what is the sound of one hand?" (oral tradition, attributed to Hakuin Ekaku (1686-1769), considered a reviver of the koan tradition in Japan).

		Koans are said to reflect the enlightened or awakened state of historical sages and legendary figures who uttered them, and sometimes said to confound the habit of discursive thought or shock the mind into awareness.
		Koan is a Japanese rendering of the Chinese term (公案), often transliterated as "kung-an" or ""gong-an"" in pinyin.
		Hakuin Ekaku recommended preparing for koan practice by concentrating on qi breathing and its effect on the body's center of gravity, called the tanden or hara in Japanese—thereby associating koan practice with pre-existing Taoist and Yogic meditative practices.

	Zen (禅) Philosophy
		Though it was originally born in the AI lab, the True Hacker spirit, and its followers, radiated to various other locations, such as the Universities of the American West Coast.
		The True Hackers in their original embodiment may have mostly disappeared today (notably because of the rise of personal computers), but the original spirit of hackerdom, and its associated culture, still lives on, notably in the world of the Unix operating system.
		The whole point of the Hackers' Zen is that they took the original Zen philosophy and made it into a rather peculiar form of humor, whose jokes are the kōans.

		Hacker cultureThe hacker culture is the voluntary subculture which first developed in the 1960s among hackers working on early minicomputers in academic computer science environments.
		After 1969 it fused with the technical culture of the pioneers of the Internet, after 1980 with the culture of Unix, and after 1987 with elements of the early microcomputer hobbyists.
		Since the mid-1990s the hacker culture has been almost coincident with what is now named the open source movement....

		Hacker sports are almost always primarily self-competitive ones involving concentration, stamina, and micromotor skills: martial arts, bicycling, auto racing, kite flying, hiking, rock climbing, aviation, target-shooting, sailing, caving, juggling, skiing, skating, skydiving, scuba diving.
		In the 1970s, many hackers admired martial arts disciplines from a distance, sensing a compatible ideal in their exaltation of skill through rigorous self-discipline and concentration.
		Hackers dress for comfort, function, and minimal maintenance hassles rather than for appearance (some, perhaps unfortunately, take this to extremes and neglect personal hygiene).
