Zen is school of Buddhism that concentrates on attaining the instantaneous appreciation of a situation without recourse to intellectual examination and reacting correctly to it Dodging a ball thrown at your head or withdrawing your hand from a hot pot without thinking are examples of Zen responses that we are all aware of. The process is useful but only if employed in its totality.In the example of the hot pot, if you let go of the hot pot and drop it and its content on the child standing below, the reaction is not correct..This is due to the fact that the situation was not realized in its totality before action was taken,

Zen is therefore a useful skill if employed correctly. Half learned Zen practice. whether from instruction by a poor master or the students imposition of his ego, can lead to ill formed responses,

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! .
