Zen Stories
The goal of Zen stories is to make you smile more than to appeal to your logical side. But if a normal joke is aiming to get you to laugh, Zen stories wants you to get enlightened. To act like shock therapy for the spirit.
They always pose very confusing dilemmas. And the story emphasize giving up trying to solve the riddle logically, and relying on spontaneity to solve it.
The ultimate goal is to be nonplussed, so that one does get into attachments with society's rules. Zen is about flowing with the Dao.
