A Zen Monk is a practitioner of Zen Buddhism, a school of Buddhism that emphasizes meditation and mindfulness. Zen Monks often live in monasteries, where they engage in daily rituals, meditation sessions, and teachings. Their primary focus is to attain enlightenment through direct experience rather than through intellectual understanding. The lifestyle of a Zen Monk is typically simple and disciplined. They follow a code of conduct that includes practices like zazen (sitting meditation), mindful eating, and communal living. This disciplined approach helps them cultivate inner peace and a deeper understanding of themselves and the world around them.
