Content : Of Japanese origin, Zen consists of living in the present moment, in the "here and now", without fear or vain hope. Taking its source in meditation, it leads to knowledge of oneself, of one's environment, which makes it possible to ease tensions, cultivate benevolence and find inner peace. Zen wisdom today goes beyond borders and adapts to the Western world to become a philosophy of attention, of balance, inviting us to mutual aid and autonomy.
