Koans are often called "zen riddles". They are statements that cause the student to abandon logic as the route to understanding. They do not necessarily follow the riddle format (What is... ?) but can be simple statement like "Show me the face you had before you were born."
Koans do not have "no meaning" although they may not have an easily explained or consistent answer. The meaning may be nested layer upon layer with the answers being koans themeselves.
