Rather than meditations on life, death, religion, or the world, ‘Zen’ urges you to focus inwards and on the ordinary only. Like all other forms and practices of Buddhism, Zen is not an ideology or belief, but rather a way of life. Buddhism was created in India but gradually travelled through Asia throughout the centuries - and in every country, it spawned multiple sub-sections of Buddhism. The Zen subsection of Buddhism was created in China, leading to the Chinese School of Zen Buddhism becoming the most successful school of Buddhism in the entirety of China, Korea, Japan and Vietnam.
