Can you explain Zen practice?
Zen is a form of Buddhist meditation that focuses on individual experience and direct understanding rather than relying solely on scripture or teachings from others. It emphasizes mindfulness, simplicity, and living in the present moment. Zen practice often involves sitting meditation, but may also include chanting, walking meditation, and other activities aimed at quieting the mind and cultivating awareness.
