Zen is a school of Mahayana Buddhism and originated in China during the 6th century CE as Chán. From China, Zen spread south to Vietnam, to Korea and east to Japan.
The word Zen is derived from the Japanese pronunciation of the Middle Chinese word 禪 Dzyen (Modern Mandarin: Chán), which in turn is derived from the Sanskrit word dhyāna, which can be approximately translated as "absorption" or "meditative state".
Zen emphasizes the attainment of enlightenment and the personal expression of direct insight in the Buddhist teachings. As such, it de-emphasizes mere knowledge of sutras and doctrine, and favors direct understanding through zazen and interaction with an accomplished teacher.
The teachings of Zen include various sources of Mahāyāna thought, especially Yogācāra, the Tathāgatagarbha Sutras and Huayan . The Prajñāpāramitā literature and, to a lesser extent, Madhyamaka have also been influential.
Traditionally the origin of Chán in China is credited to the Indian monk Bodhidharma. The story of his life, and of the Six Patriarchs, was constructed during the Tang Dynasty to lend credibility to the growing Chán-school.

Etre amoureuse ou ne pas l'être.
Telle est la question.
Ne rien lui dire, laisser paraître.
Allons, allons.
Y'a pas de temps à perdre...
après tout, les garçons n'ont pas le monopole.
De la déclaration.
Je porte aussi bien que lui l'alcool.
Et le pantalon.
Y'a pas de temps à perdre.
Y'a pas de temps à perdre.
Si j'ai ça dans le sang.
Je vais pas perdre mon temps...
je le dirai comme un homme.
Avec des excès de vitesse.
Avec des mots déplacés comme.
Des mains au fesses.
J'ai pas de temps à perdre
J'ai pas de temps à perdre.
Si c'est comme ça...
je m'en vais le crier sur les toits.
Je t'aime.
Même si ce n'est pas sûr que toi.
Tu m'aimes.
Moi je suis fou de toi.
Moi je suis fou de toi.
Mais toi.
Toi tu te fous de moi...
Y'a pas de temps à perdre.
Si je veux te garder.
Il faut que je tisse la corde pour te pendre à mon cou.
Que je pousse le vice.
Jusqu'à ce qu'il tombe à tes genoux.
Y'a pas de temps à perdre.
A moins que.
Il ne faille un peu de temps..
Ca tombe bien.
Moi j'ai du temps à perdre.
Moi j'ai du temps à perdre.
Si c'est comme ça...
je m'en le crier sur les toits.
Je t'aime.
Même si ce n'est pas sûr que toi.
Tu m'aimes.
Moi je suis fou de toi.
Moi je suis fou de toi.
Pourquoi.
Tu te fous de moi.
It's the end of the beginning
All I want is to begin again
now it's over
I'm cold and I'm sober
and we are so far from Zen
Free me
Free me this time
Leave me
Leave me to unwind
So far away so far away
Without you it cannot stay the same
So far away so far away
Without you it cannot stay the same
I wish I could see the future
I'd put myself in the same place again
With the memories of you behind me
I can be who I was back then
Free me
Leave me to unwind
So far away so far away
Without you it cannot stay the same
So far away so far away
Without you it cannot stay the same
Somewhere (x2)
So far away so far away
Without you it cannot stay the same
So far away so far away
Without you it cannot stay the same
(Without you it cannot be the same)
So far away so far away
Without you it cannot be the same
So far away so far away
Back on the tracks I'd ride before, to the other shore now I turned a circle to an 8
Could it safe me a day when there was something new to learn could I get that turn
With fear and anger all within I find a new sun
Back on the tracks I'd ride before, to the other shore now I turned a circle to a 9
Find me in the dead end line
1 in the desert once again clear my wounds up 2 find what's been left to seek with
a mind set 3, 4 this lonely morning send me 5 dew-drops for one who 6 liquid in
the dried 7 it all starts again
I'm gonna get to find me a new sun
