" What is a Zen Dog Collective? "

Zen: \’zen\ noun \ form of Buddhism, a major school of Buddhism originating in 12th-century China that emphasizes enlightenment through meditation and insight.  [Encarta Dictionary: English (North America)]

Koan: is a story, dialogue, question, or statement in the history and lore of Zen Buddhism, generally containing aspects that are inaccessible to rational understanding, yet may be accessible to intuition. A famous kōan is: "Two hands clap and there is a sound; what is the sound of one hand?" (oral tradition attributed to Hakuin Ekaku, 1686-1769, considered a reviver of the kōan tradition in Japan). [Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K%C5%8Dan]

Zen Dog: a paradoxical nonlogical thought meant to create a contemporary puzzle with no logical clarification.

Zen Dog Collective: a community of nonlogical thinkers creating nothing logical or rational yet philosophical and religious questions are paradoxically answered.
