What is a "zendō"?
A zendō, or Zen hall, is a space used for meditation in Zen Buddhism. Typically found in Zen temples, the zendō is designed to provide a quiet and simple environment that fosters focus and mindfulness. The room usually features a clean, uncluttered layout with mats or cushions for sitting, allowing practitioners to meditate comfortably. The design often includes large windows that connect the interior with nature, enhancing a sense of calm. Zendōs emphasize tranquility and stillness, serving as a place where individuals can engage in meditation practices, reflect, and seek inner peace, reflecting the core principles of Zen philosophy.
