Chan Buddhism (commonly known as Zen Buddhism) is a form of [[Buddhism]] which originated in [[China]] in around the 6th Century AC. Today it is notably practiced in China (as Chan Buddhism), [[Japan]] (as Zen Buddhism), [[Vietnam]] (as Thien Buddhism) and across [[Korea]] (as Seon Buddhism). There may be debate as to whether it should be defined as a non-theistic [[religion]] or a [[philosophy | philosophical]] paradigm, but across it's various schools, the emphasis of Chan Buddhism is on regular meditation (known as ''zazen'') and heightened awareness of 'things in themselves' through various techniques, including through the focus on repetitious daily activities (as is common in various [[Christian]] [[monastic]] communities).
