1、Zen 就是汉语"禅"经日语搬进英语的词(from Japanese, from Chinese ch'an,往上梵语 dhyāna「静坐沉思」):记"禅 chán → Zen"这一条最短,本来就是同一个词。 2、大写 Zen 指禅宗(Zen Buddhism);当形容词用表示"禅意的、心静的"(后来这么用):a zen garden(枯山水禅园)、I feel zen(心里静)。 3、读音就一个音节 /zen/,和 men、ten 押韵;写作里大写 Zen 才指禅宗,小写 zen 多用于口语"心静"。
school of Mahayana Buddhism, 1727, from Japanese, from Chinese ch'an, ultimately from Sanskrit dhyana "thought, meditation," from PIE root *dheie- "to see, look" (cognates: Greek sema "sign, mark, token"). As an adjective from 1881.
