Mumonkan

The Gateless Gate

1228 C.E.

The Mumonkan (“Gateless Gate”) is a classic Zen Buddhist text of 48 kōans—mystical riddles or paradoxes used to spark insight. Compiled in thirteenth-century China, it challenges logical thinking and invites direct experience of reality beyond words, offering a gateway to sudden enlightenment—with no gate at all.
