Koan definition is - a paradox to be meditated upon that is used to train
Zen Buddhist monks to abandon ultimate dependence on reason and to force them
into gaining sudden intuitive enlightenment.
Shuzan held out his
short staff and said,
“If you call this a short staff, you oppose its reality.
If you do
not call it a short staff, you ignore the fact.
Now what
do you wish to call this?”
