Is zen tradition be traced back to the Buddha?

The buddha is the "god" of many Asian cultures. Buddism is the religion that celebrates buddha as enlightened. However, Asians do not believe he is an all powerful god such as the god in Christianity but more of a "perfect" human being who has been "enlightened".Zen is a symbol of peace and meditation. Zen is practiced as a way of life in many cultures and religions. Zen can take on many names, Chan in mainland China, Seon in Korea, Thiền in Vietnam and dhyāna in India. According to China Zen means Chan and Chan means meditation.So as to answer your question, the tradition of Zen, Chan, Seon, Thiền, or dhyāna can be linked to Buddha and Buddism in a way. One might think of Buddha as zen or at least a follower of zen. Many people who believe in Buddhism also partake in zen. Zen is a major part of Buddhism and there is even a religion called "Zen Buddhism". So yes, I do suppose you may find a way to trace zen to buddha.See Wikipedia's take on Zen for a more detailed answer and to get more facts: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZenThis information was sourced directly from Zen - Wikipedia, URL: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zen
