Why do the same questions receive opposite answers? How can someone who says nothing achieve the highest score? What kind of dialogue is formed by refusing to answer? This book explains the content of these so-called "meaningless koans" in an easy-to-understand way. These elusive koans are the path to truth through direct experience, devised by the Zen sect, which dislikes expression through words. It explains the world of Zen's "not relying on words" through words.
