pronunciation of the Chinese “Ch’an,” which
means “Meditation”

to understand the meaning of life
directly, without being misled by
logical thought or language

doctrines or rituals, Zen is
verified by personal
experienced and is passed on
master to disciple, hand to
hand, ineffably through hard,
intimate training.
