Zen Koans are puzzles/riddles which cannot be answered through the thoughts of rational mind. The answer can/may be found beyond the thoughts of rational thinking.
The Koans where found by the Zen Masters to lead people to the Enlightenment(???).
The process goes like this, While in deep meditation the human consciousness tries to find the answer for the Koan.
While it is found, the very human experiences the enlightenment. This state is defined as Satori by the Zen Masters.
Some Koans,
What is the sound of one hand clap?
What was your face, before you were born?
