Buddhist, Zen and lithotherapy bracelets and jewelry.
What does "Zen" mean?
The word "Zen" is the Japanese pronunciation of the Chinese "Chán" (禪), which means "meditation." Chinese Chán was transmitted to Japan and then evolved into "Zen" (禅) around the eighth century. Today, the word "Zen" is in more general use in the West.
Zen Buddhism is a meditation-based, purified, determined, and uncompromising form of Buddhism that is uninterested in doctrinal refinements. Not relying on scriptures, doctrine, or ritual, Zen is verified by personal experience and transmitted from master to disciple, hand to hand, ineffably, through rigorous and meticulous training. Imbued with elements of Taoism, Confucianism, and Chinese poetry, and written in an informal style peppered with Chinese proverbs and street slang, much of classical Zen literature is built upon legendary anecdotes about the great masters.
