Mahayana: Zen
The largest school of Buddhism in Japan, it was imported to that nation from China (where it is known as Ch’an Buddhism) in the late fifth century A.D. Like all forms of Buddhism, Zen emphasizes attaining enlightenment through realization of the true nature of the mind. However, it emphasizes direct transmission of spiritual experience from one who is already enlightened rather than the study of sacred texts. Zen teachings are known for their paradoxical, even quirky, character. Zen has had a tremendous influence upon art and culture in Japan and, over the past generation, in the U.S. as well.
