The beautiful nonsense sayings in clothes of anti-reason, the koans, are for me the biggest attraction of Zen. However, my readings of texts about Zen philosophy have taught me that koans, being the most attractive part of this peculiar subject, is the less abundant. With the idea of making the most entertaining and instructive part of Zen wisdom accessible to readers like myself, I have collected all the dialogues, riddles and paradoxical phrases I've found in the many books that I've read about Zen and surrounding areas and I have written them down in a simply way, avoiding metaphysical adornments. The result, gentle reader, is this book that you have in your hands. Some opinions about this books: National Rifle Congregation: "I have not understood a word of what the author wants to transmit. A philosophy made of stupid riddles and anecdotes for democrat morons? Both author and book need a good shot".Sacramento Temple of the Sacred Buddha: "A Book that must be worshipped as the best path towards Enlightenment".Dummy Association of America and Texas: "A very recommendable book for sleepless people. Our chairman read it and says the book is about Zen"
