Some interesting facts of Zen tradition and culture are:

Zen is a school of Mahāyāna Buddhism.

Zen emphasizes experiential wisdom in the attainment of enlightenment. As such, it de-emphasizes theoretical knowledge in favor of direct self-realization

The Fuke Zen sect was well known for practicing suizen, musical meditation with the shakuhachi flute, which some Zen Buddhists today also practice.

In the year 1410 a Zen Buddhist monk from Nanzen-ji, a large temple complex in the Japanese capital of Kyoto, wrote out a landscape poem and had a painting done of the scene described by the poem. Then, following the prevailing custom of his day, he gathered responses to the images by asking prominent fellow monks and government officials to inscribe it, thereby creating a shigajiku poem and painting scroll. Such scrolls emerged as a preeminent form of elite Japanese culture in the last two decades of the fourteenth century, a golden age in the phenomenon now known as Japanese Zen culture.

Several forms of practice of Zen traditions are also taught and shared outside Zen centers in prisons, universities, hospitals and inter-faith services in the community. They have practical benefits as the main focus is on self realization for the common man rather than intellectual reasoning

Zen inspired sustainable and innovative contemporary architecture is famous all over the world. They follow and apply established principles of ecologically sustainable designs.
