| | The Practice of Zen is Zazen |
| | Zen means to understand the essence of the universe; za, to sit without moving, like a mountain. Zen is neither a theory nor an idea; it is not an intellectual concept. It is a practice: correct sitting. Zazen practice brings about an interior revolution: a deep wisdom whose essence is unattainable through logical thought alone.
