Zen is a branch of Buddhism, with Zen as the main practice method. According to the version, the establishment of Zen Buddhism originated from a tacit understanding between Sakyamuni and Ye Jia at the Lingshan Dharma Conference. The so-called "Buddha blossoms, Ye Jiaxiao". Therefore, the Buddha gave Ye Jia "hidden eyes" (meaning great Buddhism). This kind of Buddhism, "heart-to-heart, has nothing to say and does not teach others."
