What is the sound of one hand clapping?

Hmmm....well let's trying one hand clapping *gets right hand and waves it in air*
Sounds like the wind I create well I move my hand violently through air.
Ok next question.......lol. Just kidding

Yes so the little phrase is a koan, a zen saying, and koans are used to reach enlightenment. You are supposed to sit, and meditate on the saying and then enlightenment comes to you. Of course this method may take a longer time than others to achieve, but of course well worth it. =)

So what is the sound of one hand clapping?
