	Koan (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		A koan is a story, dialog, question, or statement in the history and lore of Ch'an (Zen) Buddhism, generally containing aspects that are inaccessible to rational understanding, yet that may be accessible to intuition.
		Koans are said to reflect the enlightened or awakened state of historical sages and legendary figures who uttered them, and sometimes said to confound the habit of discursive thought or shock the mind into awareness.
		Koans typically include the words of, or dialog with, an awakened or enlightened person, generally one authorized to teach in a lineage that regards Bodhidharma (circa 5th-6th century C.E.) as its ancestor.

		A koan (Chinese gongan; Korean gong'an) is a paradoxical riddle or puzzle used in Zen to shock the mind into awareness.
		Koans are used almost exclusively in Ch'an (Chinese) and Zen (Japanese) schools of Buddhism, and specifically by the Rinzai or "Sudden Enlightenment" school.
		One interpretation of this koan is: just as the room is not really empty when Minsky shuts his eyes, neither is the neural network really free of preconceptions when it is randomly wired.

	Koan (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Koan practice-concentrating on koans during meditation and other activities-is particularly important among Japanese practictioners of the Rinzai sect of Zen.
		Teachers typically warn against over-intellectualizing koans, but the mysteries of koans compel some students to reduce (but not necessarily eliminate) the uncertainties-for example, by clarfying metaphors that were likely well-known to monks at the time the koans originally circulated.
		The koan is both the object being sought and the relentless seeking itself.

	Japan's Religion and Philosophy (Shinto, Buddhism, Christianity, Religion in Japan Today)
		It was introduced to Japan after the king of Paekche in Korea sent a Buddha statue and copies of sutras to the Japanese emperor during the 6th century.
		Emperor Shomu (701-756) made Buddhism the official state religion and built the temple Todaiji at Nara along with its huge statue of Buddha.
		The increase in interest has not added greatly to the Christian base in Japan, probably due to the fact that the belief is in one God, thus eliminating the relaxed polytheism of Shinto and Japanese Buddhism.
