Zen is the Japanese school of Buddhism built around zazen, seated meditation practised in a monastery under a roshi and among a sangha. Its teachers set the koan, a question with no ordinary answer, as one route toward satori. The dharma it carries also shaped an aesthetic of raked rock gardens, bonsai, incense, the lotus and the tea ceremony.
