Descripción
A school of Chinese Buddhism probably dating to the 6th century that combines Mahayana teachings with those of Taoism to form a belief system emphasizing a meditative rather than an intellectual approach to enlightenment. It is closely related to Zen. The term can also be used to generally refer to meditation in Chinese Buddhism.
