What Is Zen?

Yesterday, one of my friends asked me "what do you think Zen is?" My response perhaps was not as glamorous as he would have liked. I told him, "Zen is no more special than waking up, opening our eyes and seeing that which is directly in front of us. Most people engage in this process of awakening by sitting and concentrating full attention on the breath. The practice of Zen is remarkably simple and uncomplicated."
