I started a thread yesterday venting my frustrations with koans and reading about zen. Didn't go the way I had anticipated, but it left me with a few questions I'd rather start a new thread for.
What are koans? What is something useful to know about koans? Something, anything, everything. I just need information.
The way I previously understood it was something that when read and understood in a certain way shocks you into enlightenment, or gets you into a state ready to accept enlightenment. Is this true? If this is true how does it accomplish this? If not what IS it?
Basically ITT: All about koans.
