Koan Discipline is a form of ZEN Buddhism that focuses on the use of koans, or paradoxical riddles, to help practitioners reach enlightenment. Koan Discipline is based on the belief that the answer to a koan cannot be found through logical reasoning, but rather through meditation and contemplation. The practice of Koan Discipline is said to help practitioners gain insight into the nature of reality and to develop a deeper understanding of the world around them.
