Nasreddin Hoca was a populist philosopher and wise man who lived in Anatolia, remembered for his funny stories and anecdotes. He often appears as a whimsical character of a large Persian, Arab, Azeri, Pashto, Urdu, Hindi, Bosnian and Turkish folk tradition of vignettes, not entirely different from Zen koans. Some tales of Nasreddin Hoca are also adapted and used as teaching stories by followers of Sufism. This is such a common practice that, given the nature of many of Nasreddin's jokes, multiple interpretations are to be expected.
