It originated in [[serican_federation|Serica]], later spreading to [[sirimese_federation|Sirim]] as //Yaseonjong// (Sirimese: 若禪宗), [[Namea]] as //Nhã Thiền Tông//, and [[Tenzan]]. Different schools have divergent focal points, whether in philosophical dialogue or quiet meditation. In Tenzan, it became especially influential among warriors, artists, and monks, and through these, had a profound impact on cultural aesthetics, influencing ink painting, garden design, tea ceremony, and martial arts—all of which reflect its values of simplicity, spontaneity, and directness. The lack of central control in the country has made Tenzan a popular religious refuge for continental Asterians, solidifying its place as a center of Zen. {{tag>religion nirvanism zen}}
