The art of zen has been becoming increasingly popular over the past decade. While it may have been thought of as “hippie” stuff back in the early 60s and 70s, more and more people have begun to show an interest in the wisdom that Zen Buddhism has to offer. Now, instead of seeing well-groomed people looking down on shaggy kids who are talking about these non-western concepts, you will see a soccer mom on her way to yoga class quipping about her zen without batting an eye. In fact, zen is everywhere! People from all walks of life are beginning to embrace a modern take on this ancient knowledge.
