A pithy (公案) saying used as a type of verbal Logic Bomb meant to short-circuit logical thinking and force the listener into deep contemplation outside of the framework of words. Koans technically have their origins in Taoism although the term is from Zen Buddhism which they are most commonly associated with. Similar logic-breaking aphorisms exist in other mystical and non-mystical traditions as well. A superficial or poorly considered epigram of this type runs the risk of becoming Meaningless Meaningful Words. If this is done intentionally, it's an Ice-Cream Koan. Has nothing to do with the Sailor Moon character of the same name. For a smart/wise/enlightened character who speaks entirely in those, see Proverbial Wisdom. Not to be confused with a kaon or K-meson, a subatomic particle. Contrast Puff of Logic. See also Meditation Powerup. |

Subverted in The Simpsons; when Lisa repeats the famous 'what is the sound of one hand clapping?' kōan, Bart answers by slapping his fingers against his palm. Then played straight afterward, with the equally famous 'if a tree falls in the woods, and no one's around to hear it, does it make a sound?' – although Lisa has to shoot down Bart's obvious answer with 'how can sound exist if no one's there to hear it?', practically another koan in itself. |

In Homestuck, Heroes of Void are supposed to make something out of the concept of nothingness. The easy answer is the obfuscation and destruction of information such as when Gamzee uses Heir of Void Equius's blood to censor information pertaining to his actions in the book Kanaya and Rose are writing about their adventures, though there are much deeper layers to this that some Void players are unable to fully realize. Roxy eventually discovers one such layer: As a Rogue of Void, she can steal a hypothetical object's nothingness, and thus, literally make something out of nothing. | |

There's one in Ishmael when the narrator first enters the 'classroom': with man gone, will there be hope for gorilla? With gorilla gone, will there be hope for man? Given that the book is about a talk between a man and a telepathic gorilla, not as random as it may actually seem. |

In Exalted, the sutras and scriptures associated with the Sidereals always take the form of brief kōans involving the Maidens, their patron deities. For example: In a similar vein to the Mage example above, there's a spell called Paralyzing Contradiction. It creates a glyph of one of the Ineffable Kōans, which makes people stop what they're doing until they find their own answer. Stupid people don't realise there's a puzzle, and are unaffected. |

In Stargate SG-1 Oma's planet has a monk who speaks entirely in koans. One of the famous ones is "If you immediately know that the candlelight is fire, then the meal was cooked a long time ago." It isn't actually the full kōan though, it is prefaced with "Because it is so clear, it takes a longer time to realize it," followed by the otherwise meaningless if statement. Oma herself isn't much better. One of them, in fact, becomes a bit of a Running Gag, where someone pretending to be Oma Desala tries to offer an answer...and in so doing, reveals herself as not being Oma. The real Oma shows up again in a Diner in the very next episode: |

While a lot longer than most kōans, The Essential Chuang Tzu definitely qualifies with its collections of stories that seem tailored to frustrate the reader by delivering messages in any select chapter that often have little to no connection with each other. Some of them are even unclear on just what message they're intended to convey or go out of their way to subvert or jump up and down on the aesops they appear to be building up to. | |

In the Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS manga, Nanoha gives her student Subaru following quote to ponder (which she apparently heard from her own Old Master in her trainee days): "To win against an opponent stronger than yourself, you must not be weaker than that opponent." After thinking about it for a while, Subaru arrives to the conclusion that it means the necessity to play your own strengths against the opponent's weaknesses, so if they have just one weakness and many strengths, exploiting the former will still bring you victory. In the end, however, Nanoha never divulges the correct answer... provided, of course, she even knows one herself. | |

Satirized brilliantly in Thief of Time: This is also spoofed in Lu-Tze's Way of Mrs. Cosmopilite. After seeing so many city slickers come to visit his mountain monastery in search of ancient wisdom, Lu-Tze decided to reverse their thinking and see what could be learned from the great city of Ankh-Morpork. While there he rented a room from a middle-aged housewife and picked up simple sayings like "it never rains but it pours," which tend to confuse the other monks ("A jug!"). On the other hand, some of these inane statements - "I wasn't born yesterday," "there's no time like the present" - are identical to the sayings of the aforementioned Wen the Eternally Surprised, so who knows. |

In Gödel, Escher, Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid, kōans are used several times as a metaphor for the central idea of the book: Kurt Godel's famous Incompleteness Theorem, which says that any sufficiently powerful theory of mathematical logic can be used to prove that mathematical logic is incomplete - that there will always be true statements that can't be proven true but are true nonetheless. In one such case, Achilles explains how kōans can be transcribed and translated into strings, from which it is possible to determine if they have Buddha-nature or not. The Tortoise promptly uses those rules to create a string that is analogous to Godel's Theorem - by the rules it has Buddha-nature, but its "translation" says it does not have Buddha-nature. Of course, this confuses the hell out of Achilles. | |

The (in)famous Principia Discordia employs kōans and kōan-like passages to deliver lessons about the Discordian belief system, frequently directly riffing on Zen. For example, the Principia states, "Among Zen Buddhists it is said that, 'When you meet another bodhisattva on the road, greet him with neither words nor silence.' This leaves you with a vast selection of barnyard noises from which to choose." | |

M.A.S.K.: Bruce Sato frequently utters these whenever the team stumbles on a mystery. A running gag is that whenever he does so, one of the other MASK agents will express confusion, followed by Matt or Alex immediately figuring out what Bruce means. | |

The Vorlons in Babylon 5 seem to be extremely fond of kōans. Indeed, Ambassador Kosh seems incapable of speaking in anything else. Some times they have meaning, some times they don't, and it's not usually clear which is which until a later episode. Possibly justified since being too open and direct could be considered a violation of the terms of engagement between the Vorlons and the Shadows. Indeed, the moment Kosh does stop being so cryptic and actually helps, the Shadows kill him for it. | |

Kamen Rider Decade, in which the titular character is a reluctant Multiversal Conqueror who wanders the multiverse looking for his home world, has the main character include one in his "No More Holding Back" Speech during All Riders VS Daishocker. Later, in the finale movie, Tsukasa finally concludes that he must stay with his friends and keep wandering the multiverse. "The journey itself is my world.". |
