A koan is defined as a puzzling, often paradoxical statement or story, used in Zen Buddhism as an aid to meditation and a means of gaining spiritual awakening. Some simple examples of koans that you may be familiar with are:
What is the sound of one hand clapping?
If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make sound?
What did you look like before your ancestors were born?
Try writing your own... Can others answer it without their brains imploding? :bonk:
