Although often portrayed in popular culture as exotic or mystical, Zen is a Japanese word that simply means meditation.
The Buddha’s teachings were about how to sit very still yet remain alert, allowing thoughts to come and go. By this method of introspection, he was able to see that his true nature was eternal, joyous, selfless and pure. He thus attained enlightenment.
