The Meaning of Zen
You may not have practiced it, but chances are you've heard of zen. It's a common word that circulates in different circles, mainly when people are looking for a way to simplify their lives.
In fact, Zen has often been associated with such things as tranquility, mindfulness, concentration and anything else that can help restore some order to today's fast-paced and chaotic lives. In essence, Zen is about understanding the meaning of life without being distracted by logical or rational thinking.
The practice requires intense discipline that, if followed correctly, will allow you to improve the way you dodge distractions. But this is easier said than done. If you come from the western part of the hemisphere, where intellectual thinking and multitasking dominate, it can be a challenge to adapt to Zen.
