Zen: General

Zen is said to have been introduced to China by the Indian master Bodhidharma in the 6th century CE. Known as Chan in Chinese, it spread to Korea and Japan. The legendary origins of Zen go right back to the Buddha and his teachings beyond words and concepts. Such a direct teaching outside of scripture took place when the Buddha simply held up a flower and the monk Kashyapa understood the meaning.
