Through time and thought of man, in search for meaning through meditation, Zen is a very good example of how history has shaped language and how the original Sanscrit term 'dhyana' entered the Chinese language through the doors of an Indian monk who started his own meditation school "Chan", which was the word 'dhyana' in Chinese pronounciation, transformed from 'chan-na', and at the end being reduced to 'Chan', which then was pronounced "ZEN". For some that's the change they want to see in this world, and perhaps even a manifestation of Buddha's enlightenment.

For some that’s the change they want to see in this world, and perhaps even a manifestation of Buddha’s enlightenment.
