CEVAP:

Zen Buddhism has had the most global impact and entered global civilization as a permanent fixture. It has a unique appeal within Buddhism. Unlike other schools, it can be experienced by anyone. Second, it does not require specialized knowledge or study, simply meditation. It is meant to reduce stress and so is attractive to people with high-powered positions. It can be observed by Buddhists and non-Buddhists alike. To reach enlightenment through a higher state of mental consciousness is the goal of Zen teaching. Further, there are no specific physical requirements such as the assumption of the “lotus position.” Zen Buddhism focuses on the achievement of awareness through clearing the mind of distractions.
