The Gateless Gate of Zen is a traditional collection of stories and essays, called koans, that were used by the ancient priests to teach Zen to their students.

It reveals the personalities of the famous Zen masters through their own words and teachings, explaining basic Buddhist ideology and Chinese history essential for understanding the koans.
