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