Zen Buddhism | Vibepedia

Zen Buddhism is a school of Mahayana Buddhism that emphasizes the attainment of enlightenment through meditation and self-inquiry. It originated in China and was later introduced to Japan, where it became a distinct tradition. Zen Buddhism is known for its emphasis on mindfulness, non-attachment, and the attainment of a state of consciousness known as satori or kensho. Influential figures such as Bodhidharma, Dogen Zenji, and Shunryu Suzuki have shaped the development of Zen Buddhism, which has been influenced by other philosophical traditions such as Taoism and Confucianism.
