It's all about calming the mind to find peace.
The rosary, prayer, and other religious activities seek to do the same. And, I would add, for those who attempt to calm the mind through these methods, they are usually quite successful.

It is a Koan.
Questions that are designed to free your mind from conventionality.
There are over a thousand such as these. This one was made famous by the Simpsons episode where Bart is taught by Lisa to meditate before a big mini-golf tournament.

I think.. it is one of the questions that you have to answer when trying to become Buddhist.. There are several tasks../ questions you have to answer and this is one of them. Kind of intersting. Just something your'e suppose to contemplate I guess. I know bc one of my friends was trying to convert and had to undergo some of these indepth questions.. they make you think...and are suppose to help you grow spiritually?..

It is a QUANDARY --- It is an old old Koan --- the answer that I got from a Master was...... a CLIP across the back of the head.
(When I asked what it meant.)

It's a question with no answer that's supposed to provoke deep thought.
