Za Zen or Seated meditation is is without any objects, chanting or content and is simply an effortless observation of ones mind and stream of thoughts.
Koans or puzzles are used to point to the truth and realize ‘Satori’ or momentary Liberation or realization.
Examples of Koans are
“Does a dog have Buddha nature?”
“Show me your original face before your mother & father were born”
“How do you clap with one hand?”
