Zen is the most well known modern school of Buddhism. Zen first originated in China and then branched off into Vietnam, Japan, and Korea. Zen is following the thoughts and philosophy of Siddhartha Guatama and the belief that enlightenment is achieved through meditation. Through meditation people are about to clear there mind and become on with Buddha. Zen followers believe that everyone has a “Buddha nature” in them. This form of meditation is called Zazen. The Eightfold Path and the 4 Noble Truths are the most important elements to Zen practices.
