Just what is “Zen?” It is hard to explain. Zen is a tradition of wisdom passed on since the time of the Sakyamuni Buddha. It is a path to fully awaken to your original nature, which is present right here, right now. It is the essence of wisdom and compassion. The word Zen is derived from the Chinese word “chán” and the sanskrit word “dhyana,” which mean “meditation.” In sanskrit, the root meaning is “to see, to observe, to look.”
