World Literature I
Zen Buddhism is a branch of Mahayana Buddhism that emphasizes meditation, intuition, and direct experience to achieve enlightenment. It stresses the importance of mindfulness and the practice of zazen (sitting meditation) as essential paths to understanding one's true nature and the nature of reality. Zen Buddhism is notable for its focus on simplicity and directness, often expressing complex teachings through art, poetry, and koans, which are paradoxical anecdotes or riddles meant to provoke deep thought.
