It seems that a monk once knocked on a monastery gate. Traditionally, Zen monasteries will only admit wandering Zen monks if they can show proof of having solved a koan.

But that happens only when the mind has gone. When you become so silent that the mind has disappeared, disappeared with all its noise, suddenly that soundless sound is heard, that omkar, that anahat nad is heard. And there is a sound permeating existence itself, which is not created uncreated. If you clash two things there is a sound that is called ahat nad, a sound that comes out of conflict. The word anahat means exactly the same as what Zen people call the sound of one hand clapping. When the mind disappears you hear the soundless sound, what the Hindus call anahat nad. The mind hears only the sound of two hands clapping because the mind lives in duality. Suddenly you are in a state of no-mind and you hear the sound of one hand clapping. When you work hard with the mind and the mind finds no way to reach any solution, out of sheer tiredness the mind falls flat on the ground. The solution will happen one day when the mind disappears.

There, at the Moon Gate, you will find a silk headband and your old walking staff, and your hero's task will truly begin. If you agree to the task, the priestess transports you to the World Beyond.

It is your task to deal slyly with the dragons and restore that hope. The dragons hold the keys that will restore the hope which was lost. There, the aged priestess tells you that Black Dragon has returned to the World Beyond, its folk banished and replaced by dragons.
