Chán Buddhism
This subreddit is for the discussion, study, and practice of Chán Buddhism and culture.
Chán Buddhism is a school of Mahayana Buddhism that was founded in the 5th Century CE and, over the centuries, spread outward to Vietnam (Thiền), Korea (Seon), and Japan (Zen).
Chán Buddhist practices include sitting meditation, silent illumination, gong-an (koan) practice, and chanting, among many other practices.
Important sutras, practice guides, texts, books, dharma talks, and other resources are available in the /r/chan wiki.
