Zen

What is zen?

Zen is one of the products of the chinese mind after its contact with indian thought.which was introduced into china in the first century A.D. through the medium of buddhism teachings.one of the first thing zen accomplished in china.as soon as it had gathered its forces and was strong enough to stand by itself.was to establish a special form of monasticism quite distint from the older kind of monkish living.zen is not necessarily against words,but it is well aware of fact that they are liable to detach themselves from realities and turn into conceptions.zen is discipline in enlightenment.Enlightenment means is emancipation is no less than freedom.

How about the zen monks?

Zen monk just cited maybe an extra case but the spirit is there.the zen monks were not only democratic,they were willing to employ themselves in all practical ways of life. They were thus economically-minded as well as politically minded.Another departure from the older pattern of monkish brotherhood,whether christian or buddhist or any else. was that the zen monks were not engaged in offering prayers.practising penance or performing other.

Zen verbalism

First, zen verbalism is quite characteristic of zen.thought it is so completely differentiated from the philosophy of linguistics or dialects.that it maybe not be corrected to apply the term "verbalism" to zen at all.zen verbalism is expresses the most concrete experience.
