Zen is the meditation school of Buddhism. The primary practice in Zen Buddhism is zazen, which is a distinctive kind of meditation. Different Zen Buddhist traditions have slightly different ways of practicing. Depending upon the particular group, there are--in addition to zazen--liturgical practices involving chanting, prostrations, spiritual talks, and one-on-one interviews between teachers and their students.
