From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. Zen is a school of Mahāyāna Buddhism. The Japanese word Zen is derived from the Chinese word Chán, which in turn is derived from the Sanskrit word dhyāna, which means "meditation" or "meditative state." Zen emphasizes experiential prajñā in the attainment of enlightenment. As such, it de-emphasizes theoretical knowledge in favor of direct realization through meditation and dharma practice. The teachings of Zen include various sources of Mahāyāna thought, including the Prajñāpāramitā literature and the teachings of the Yogācāra and Tathāgatagarbha schools. The emergence of Zen as a distinct school of Buddhism was first documented in China in the 7th century CE. From China, Zen spread south to Vietnam, and east to Korea and Japan. As a matter of tradition, the establishment of Zen is credited to the South Indian prince-turned-monk Bodhidharma, who came to China to teach a "special transmission outside scriptures, not founded on words or letters". In China, Japan, Korea and Vietnam, the local name of the tradition is always cognate to Sanskrit dhyāna.

Q. i would like to make a zen garden but am just a beginer what type of sand do i need where do i find the rocks where can i buy a special rake please tell me. Asked by joystickhappy - Sun Oct 21 14:41:22 2007 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. This is a miniature zen garden, but will give you some ideas: This one is more of a rock garden, but is Zen in its nature: My suggestion is to pick up a book on Oriental gardens from a local garden center. It will help you out in creating your design. Rock, sand or other materials can be purchased from garden centers, lumber yards, brick companies, discount stores and hardware stores. The rake you need is a normal garden rake, but there are special ones available as well, those are to be found in garden centers, lumber yards, hardware stores or even in discount stores.
