a
particular movement of
Buddhism, introduced into
China in the 6th century a.d. and into Japan in the 12th century, that emphasizes enlightenment by means of meditation and direct,
intuitive insights. Zen Buddhists say that one finds
truth in
experience, not in
thinking about it or listening to someone talk about
experience. To understand the meaning of
life, one must live, not make up theories about it.
