Zen Master

A Zen Master is a highly experienced teacher in Zen Buddhism, trained to guide others in developing mindfulness, insight, and compassion through meditation and direct experiential teachings. They have often completed rigorous training, including long-term meditation practice and personal discipline, allowing them to help students understand the nature of mind and reality beyond intellectual concepts. Zen Masters serve as spiritual guides, fostering awakening and inner peace, while embodying the principles they teach through their example. Their role is to support students on their path to self-awareness and enlightenment within the framework of Zen practice.
