Zen is a branch of Mahayana Buddhism which strongly emphasizes the practice of meditation. It emerged as a distinct school in China and spread to Vietnam, Korea, Japan, and, in modern times, the rest of the world. The common English name derives from the school's name in Japanese, zen (禅).
History
Traditionally, Zen traces its roots back to Indian Buddhism; it takes its name from the Sanskrit term, dhyāna, which means meditative concentration (zen is short for the rarely-used form zenna). According to traditional accounts, Chinese Zen was established in approximately 500 CE by an Indian monk named Bodhidharma. Bodhidharma is said to have been the twenty-eighth patriarch of Zen and the last Indian successor in a line begun by the Buddha's disciple Mahakaśyapa. His school was also known as the Buddha Heart School (). More on [ Zen ]

Cleaned the bike, including cleaning each chain-link with a toothbrush. There's something very Zen in that.
