Zen -- Excerpt from The Tao of Physics http://www.shotokai.cl/otras_artes/165_em_.html
"Zen is a unique blend of the philosophies and idiosyncrasies of three different cultures. It is a way of life which is typically Japanese, and yet it reflects the mysticism of India, the Taoists' love of naturalness and spontaneity and the thorough pragmatism of the Confucian mind."
