AbstractInstances in Āgama literature that portray the observance of silence can have different functions, depending on the context. A particularly well-known instance of such silence, reportedly observed by the Buddha when confronted with an inquiry after the existence or non-existence of a self, could be viewed as a distant ancestor to the kōan/gōngàn (公案) practice popular in various meditation traditions of East-Asian Buddhism.
