The Gateless Gate

Purpose and Justification

The subpages of this page are to be used for the purpose of displaying pseudorandomly-selected koans on my user page.

These koans are from the English translation by Nyogen Senzaki and Paul Reps of the 1228 CE work The Gateless Gate by Mumon.
They can be found in the well-worth-purchasing book Zen Flesh, Zen Bones, and also at this site.

I believe all the content on the subpages of this page to be usable for the purpose described above per:
