153. Where the word Zen came from

The word “Zen” gets used everywhere — usually incorrectly. In this video, I explain what the word Zen actually means, where it comes from, and what it was originally pointing toward. This isn’t academic history — it’s practical clarity so you don’t get lost in labels or spiritual hype. Zen isn’t a vibe. It’s not a mood. And it’s definitely not about pretending everything is calm. It’s about direct experience, awareness, and living awake in ordinary life. If you want Zen explained without fluff, this is for you. Explore more teachings and simple training at
