Koan

Koan

A Koan is a story that is supposed to wake a person up and makes a person ask questions about "certains" in life. It can also reveal a direct experience and asks about the consciousness of identity, mystics and the experiences of the world.

Koan just emphasizes the need to answer a question or story through meditation and it is supposed to frustrate the rational mind. I like to think I have a "Koan" that questions why I do things or why I think of certain things...but I never attempt to meditate to find an answer.
