Paradox is a part of Zen and the teaching of Zen. A paradox nudges your mind into a direction other than the routine. It helps you disengage the rational mind and free up the intuition. It also points to a truth that cannot be rationally derived through the use of logic. Therefore:
Zen is nothing and yet everything.
Zen is both empty and full.
Zen encompasses all and is encompassed by all.
Zen is the beginning and the end.
