禅宗学生描述他们与公案一起工作时的经历，并使用现象学方法来识别这些经历的结构。禅宗公案是中国和日本的禅宗大师为了帮助学生转变他们对世界的意识而开发的陈述或故事。八名参与者，包括3名女性和5名男性，来自南加州，有1至30年的禅宗经验，回答了开放式的问题，有关公案的做法，在一个录音会议为每个参与者。反思产生了以下专题组：（a）动机，（B）与公案一起工作的方法，（c）与公案一起工作的经验，（d）对公案的洞察力，（e）与教师一起工作，（f）转变。参与者描述了积极的转变，包括更好地控制情绪和注意力，更好地认识到偏见和偏见，能够抑制这些类型的习惯性联想，以及对精神问题和怀疑的新关系和接受。
Zen students described their experiences when working with koans, and a phenomenological method was used to identify the structure of those experiences. Zen koans are statements or stories developed in China and Japan by Zen masters in order to help students transform their conscious awareness of the world. Eight participants including 3 females and 5 males from Southern California with 1 to 30 years of experience in Zen answered open-ended questions about koan practice in one tape-recorded session for each participant. Reflection yielded the following thematic clusters: (a) motivation, (b) approaches to working with koans, (c) experiences while working with koans, (d) experiences of insight into koans, (e) working with a teacher, and (f) transformation. Participants described positive transformations including better control of emotions and concentration, better awareness of prejudices and biases with the ability to suppress those types of habitual associations, and a new relation to and acceptance of spiritual questions and doubts.
