Best Answer

When the Buddhist way was brought from India to China, it mixed with the Daoist tradition that was already established in China and the result was Ch'an Buddhism (called "son" in Korea and "zen" in Japan). Meditation is the chief skill of Ch'an Buddhism; it is believed that mastering meditation is the only way to live well.
