Zen
Zen Japanese school of
Buddhism, initially developed in China, where it is known as Ch'an. Instead of doctrines and scriptures, Zen stresses mind-to-mind instruction from master to disciple in order to achieve
satori (awakening of Buddha-nature). There are two major Zen sects.
Rinzai (introduced to Japan from China in 1191) emphasizes sudden enlightenment and meditation on paradoxical statements. The
Soto sect (also brought from China, in 1227) advocates quiet meditation. In its secondary emphasis on mental tranquillity, fearlessness, and spontaneity, Zen had a great influence on
Japanese art and architecture. Zen priests also inspired
Japanese literature, the tea ceremony, and the
No drama. In recent decades, a number of Zen groups emerged in Europe and the USA.
