I'd like to guess the rule:

A koan is white if the letters alternate between consonants and vowels.

Yep, you got it!  Figured it'd be best to go with something simple for my first time coming up with a rule.

Alright... new round, then.

From IRC:

Quote<Proxima> is the rule "a koan has the buddha nature if it has an even number of letters"

This is not the rule.

From IRC, an incorrect guess:

Quote<Proxima> rule guess: a koan is white if there are at least 4 letters, and the 4th is a vowel

Maybe it's time for a hint...
Spoiler
It is impossible to make a black koan by adding extra letters to the end of a white koan.
