Impenetrable Koan
#4
Thanks to you both. Dojin is a name sometimes given to Buddhist boys, it means "Path of Love". I meant the "Impenetrable Koan" to refer to the paradoxical and non-understandable situation whereby a Buddhist monk, trained to "observe" emotions (including anger) rather than act out on them would engage in self-immolation.

Obviously I didn't present this clearly. I will work on it some more. I like the short version idea, too:

And now Dojin
with one horrible scream
gone up in saffron flames

I guess I would need to change the name "Dojin"

Anyhow, thanks
