Typically water symbolizes life, which is impermanent. Like life, water flows and can take many forms. Zen came from the interaction of Indian Buddhist and Chinese Daoist practices. Water is an important image in classical works of Daoism such as TAO TE CHING.

Where do zen Buddhists meditate?

Although the Hollywood version of a Zen Buddhist meditating usually involves a Zen Garden, meditation hall, or a freezing waterfall in the middle of winter (?), Zen meditation can occur almost anywhere that there is a minimum of distraction. For students sitting a meditation hall under the guidance of a master is usual, but sitting or standing or walking Zen is also possible.

Is one a Zen Buddhist?

Good question. Zen Buddhism is the meditation school (variety) of Buddhism. Anyone who engages in zazen and the other practices of Zen Buddhism may be considered a Zen Buddhist. This, though, is misleading because, according to The Buddha, there is no such thing as a separate self; an human individual person is really a congeries of qualities. Strictly speaking, therefore, there is no one to be a Zen Buddhist! .
