Seon is a traditional Korean form of Buddhism that emphasizes meditation and direct experience of enlightenment. It is similar to Zen Buddhism in Japan and focuses on the practice of sitting meditation, known as zazen, to cultivate mindfulness and insight. The teachings of Seon encourage practitioners to look beyond words and scriptures, seeking a deeper understanding of their true nature. This approach aims to help individuals realize their inherent Buddha-nature and achieve spiritual awakening through personal experience rather than reliance on doctrinal teachings.
