'''Zen''' (Japanese, from Sanskrit ''dhyana'' by way of Chinese ''chan'') is a form of [[Buddhism]] developed in [[China]] with influences from [[Taoism]]. It is best known in its Japanese form. Central to Zen practice is the heightening of personal awareness through regular sessions of ''zazen'', a form of quiet, seated meditation, as well as other practices. Some schools of Zen Buddhism put a strong emphasis on bettering oneself through meditating on riddles known as koans (a famous example is: "What is the sound of one hand clapping?" Though actually rendered closer to "Clap.  Now only listen to one of those hands."), which helped it to become strongly influential on geek culture due to its love of mind puzzles and high-context communication.  Especially popular in these groups is coming up with snarky answers to questions that, on purpose, are impossible to answer.

The main form of westernized Buddhism in the 1950s and 60s was Zen, but today there are many popular Buddhist teachers in the West who derive from other Buddhist traditions. In 2000, the term Shambhala Buddhism was coined- a Western form of Buddhism largely derived from Tibetan traditions which predate the Zen traditions of China and Japan. The Western teacher Pema Chödrön largely identifies with the Shambala tradition rather than Zen. The [[Dalai Lama]] is not in the Zen tradition of Buddhism.

Zen Buddhism is also noted for gardens of raked sand or gravel.
Remember one thing, boy. Zen is not a philosophy. Zen is not a religion. Zen is just a damn attitude.
—Alf the Poet, or one of his minions[1]

Zen (Japanese, from Sanskrit dhyana by way of Chinese chan) is a form of Buddhism developed in China with influences from Taoism. It is best known in its Japanese form.
