Zen is a Chinese word that refers to a school of Buddhism. Emphasizing insight and using techniques such as breath monitoring, mental observation, meditation and chanting, Zen is commonly referred to as a meditative state.
Zen concepts are practiced not only in Buddhism, but also in a variety of other religions, as well as yoga, and even the concept of biofeedback in medicine uses similar techniques as Zen.
Capturing zen in photography usually focuses on illustrating the calm, meditative, focused states:
