Zen is a school of Mahayana Buddhism [ note 1 ] that developed in China during the 6th century as Chán . From China, Zen spread south to Vietnam , to Korea and east to Japan . The word Zen is derived from the Japanese pronunciation of the Middle Chinese word 禪 ( dʑjen ) (Modern Mandarin : Chán ), which in turn is derived from the Sanskrit word dhyāna , which can be approximately translated as "absorption" or " meditative state ".
