Tibetan Buddhism emphasizes a meditation focused on the breath. There are four main branches of this religion. Buddhism entered China in the 6th century, where it was called ch'an. Later it entered Japan, becoming Zen Buddhism. Zen emphasizes living in the moment, not looking for rational explanations, seeking the true nature of all reality and understanding truth without using words.
Meditation is done with attention on the breath.
The purpose is to eventually become detached from your identity, emotions and intellect in order to realize your true nature, the Buddha nature. Zen does not like to use words, so it resists any description or analysis. Zen is supposed to be grasped in a way that goes beyond the rational mind. Taoism comes from the Tao, which means the way or the Universal Path. This belief teaches that the Tao is the ultimate reality and the origin of all things.
