Zen practice includes many things:

* Rinzai Zen features k?an (paradoxical questions), intense meditation, and sudden enlightenment (satori). Rinzai Zen Buddhists often take an ordinary activity and concentrate on performing each action with such mindfulness that the action becomes perfect * Soto Zen emphasizes work, practise, discipline, and philosophical questions to discover one's Buddha-nature in the 'realization of self'. Soto Zen Buddhists focus on a special form of meditation called zazen - just sitting. To become a practitioner of Zen you must generally become a student with a knowledgeable instructor - or alternately, as a Zen migt put it - you don't have to.
