Seon Buddhism is a Korean school of Zen Buddhism that emphasizes meditation and direct experience of enlightenment. It originated in the 7th century and focuses on the practice of seon (meditation) to attain a deep understanding of one's true nature. Seon practitioners often engage in various forms of meditation, including sitting quietly and observing thoughts. The teachings encourage simplicity and mindfulness, aiming to cultivate a state of awareness that transcends intellectual understanding. This approach fosters a personal connection to the teachings of the Buddha and promotes inner peace and clarity.
