methods; instead of an answer, an experience is offered — a moment of enlightenment when the inner world opens up in a new light. Koans are perfect for meditation, philosophical reflections, or simply for those seeking inspiration in Eastern wisdom. They help to understand the nature of reality, identity, and connections, prompting one to go beyond familiar thought patterns and see the true essence behind the facade of technologies, becoming a bridge between human spirituality and the digital age and opening a space for realizing meanings where paradoxes and uncertainty reign. The book includes a translation of classic koans from the famous collection "The Gateless Barrier" ("The Gate of No Gate") by Mumonkan (1246) with relevant philosophical commentary.
