A school of Mahayana Buddhism emphasizing meditation and intuition over theoretical knowledge.
Explicação Detalhada
Zen Buddhism developed in China as Chan Buddhism and later spread to Japan. It emphasizes direct experience and enlightenment through meditation (zazen), mindfulness in daily activities, and the study of paradoxical questions (koans). Zen teaches that enlightenment can occur suddenly through direct insight into one's true nature, rather than through gradual accumulation of knowledge.
