I'm one of those odd people that likes looking up definitions of words I'm not sure about. If someone asked me to define the word "Zen", I would have said something like: A state of enlightenment and peace.

I never realised Zen is actually a type of Buddhism. *grins* That's so cool!

Zen (zĕn)
n.

A school of Mahayana Buddhism that asserts that enlightenment can be attained through meditation, self-contemplation, and intuition rather than through faith and devotion and that is practiced mainly in China, Japan, Korea, and Vietnam. Also called Zen Buddhism.

Why am I looking up definitions of the word "Zen?" Blame celtic_sky *grins*
