There has been confusion regarding the nature of Zen and Buddhism. Zen, the newer variant, is all about meditation, including the sitting kind as well as the “living” kind. Zen focuses specifically on the mind and seeks to comprehend true nature. Zen has helped me to clarify my perceptions, to be patient and to practice observing multiple truths. Not a religion, Zen is a frame of mind gained through practice.
