Gateless Barrier There is a famous collection of ancient Chinese Zen stories and verses entitled Mumonkan. The title alludes to the 'barrier' to one's inner mind or the 'barrier' to enlightenment. There is no gate to this barrier. For some, a 'gateless' barrier cannot be traversed. For others, a 'gateless' barrier is no barrier at all. The piece "Mumonkan" was written by Riley Lee in 1994.
