Zen Riddles for Millennials (video)

College Humor, 5/12/15; Alan Watts; Pat Macpherson, Ashley Wells (eds.), Wisdom Quarterly


Zen has koans (lit. "public case") or paradoxical "riddles" to derail the ordinary assumptions of our thinking process and thereby free the mind of obsessive loops in discursive thinking. For example, "In order to move out of your parents' basement, you must first move into your parents' basement."

Western British-Californian Spiritual Entertainer Alan Watts on Zen koans
