The Beginner’s Guide To Zen Habits

Zen, pronounced dhyanam in Sanskrit and chan in Chinese, is a form of Buddhism centred upon sitting meditation, and the wordless and silent nature of enlightenment.

A variety of techniques are used to restore identity with the nature of Buddha, including shouting and beating. The discipline, or zazen, may be aided by concentration on texts and problems, or koan.
