Zen says: This is all.

There is no other life, there is no other existence. This ordinary existence is beautiful. There is no need for any other world; this world is more than enough. Zen is the greatest alchemy. It transforms your ordinary, mundane life into a sacred, holy life.

Zen means dhyan; it means meditation. The word dhyan is in Sanskrit. When it moved to the Buddhist language, Pali, it became Zhan. When it moved to China, it became Chan. When it moved to Japan, it became Zen.
