Anyone interested in Zen koans might also be
interested in some of the Sufi teaching tales,
as told by Idres Shah.  I, for one, would
like to trade such stories.

Does anyone know of other philosophical/religious
traditions that emphasize teaching stories?
I suppose that the core of most philosophical
teachings were transmitted with stories since
writing was uncommon.
