“What is the sound of one hand clapping?”
Mu! (nothing). Sound, hand and clapping do not exist as independent things; as all things are interdependent; essentially one everchanging thing.
Sound, hand and clapping are illusions our consciousness creates. They appear in foveal vision which is what consciousness carves out of the flow that is peripheral vision.
The sound of one hand clapping is the sound of one hand clapping. It is what it is whatever it is.
