Zen Meditation in Buddhism is a method of
contemplation and focus that trains practitioners in both
mental clarity and good posture.
Zen Meditation, or zazen, is a practice of Buddhism that
aims to quiet the spirit through silent contemplation,
granting the meditators peace of mind and a deeper
understanding of themselves. Brought over to Japan
through China, Zen is the Japanese derivation of a
Chinese word that means “meditation”. Commonly Zen
meditation involves seating oneself in a position with legs
folded and one hand inside the other. The focus is then
placed on noting the breath and how it flows into and out
of the body, as the meditators attempt to quiet and clear
the mind. Behind this practice stands centuries of
significance and history that is impossible to explain in this
short description.
Though most commonly practiced in temples by Buddhist
monks, this practice is by no means limited to Buddhist
clergy. Some temples offer to teach the basics of the
ancient art to visitors, and so it can be practiced
anywhere. Monks teach the correct posture, the folding of
the hands, and the methods by which one should enter
into and out of the state of meditation.
