Zen Buddhists sought spiritual enlightenment through meditation. Strict discipline of body and mind was the path to Zen wisdom. In Zen, the awareness of infinity, which liberates the human soul from the endless cycle of pain and suffering. Zen Buddhism gives importance to three things: Śila: Morality Dhyāna: Meditation Prajnñā: Intuitive Knowledge

Zen Buddhism belief is a way of life more than the thoughts. Zen is about living life in awareness. You have to practice self- denial and devote your life to understand the Buddha-nature. Self-denial does not mean torturing your body. Zen strictly prohibits luxury: Zen Buddhism follows the Middle Path founded by the Buddha.

Zen Buddhism reached Japan in the 13 th century during Hojo dynasty. Since Zen was about experience more than studying philosophy, it was accepted by the warrior and ruling clan. They introduced Zen Buddhism beliefs in sword fight, archery, martial arts, gardening, painting, music and poetry. Zendo (Meditation Hall) were built and Zen became a daily activity for the people of every walks of life.
