Bookstore: Zen Buddhism:
Developed from CH’an a school
of Chinese Buddhism formed in the Seventh century from a blend of Taoism
(Chinese philosophy outlined in the TaoTeChing). It aims is to achieve harmony
with all that is by pursuing inaction and effortless) and Mahayana teachings.
The school stressed experience rather than learning. One of the heroes of Zen is
the fierce – looking Indian monk Boddhidharma who brought Buddhism to China.
Absolute faith is placed in a
person’s own inner being. Zen came to Japan in the 13th century five
centuries after the orthodox forms of Buddhism. It appealed because of its
emphasis on the uselessness of words and the insistence of action without
thought.
