Zen is a form of Buddhism that focuses on a momentary awareness of the "now".
One of the best descriptions of what Zen is can be understood when the you understand the saying:
"Before enlightenment, chop wood, carry water. After enlightenment, chop wood, carry water."
In this sense, enlightenment can be compared to a Tea break.
