'''Zen''' is a school of [[wikipedia:Buddhism|Mahāyāna Buddhism]] notable for its emphasis on practice and experiential wisdom—particularly as realized in the form of meditation known as ''zazen—in'', the attainment of awakening. As such, it de-emphasizes both theoretical knowledge and the study of religious texts in favor of direct individual experience of one's own true nature.
'''Zen''' is a mental and spiritual type of thought and practice, that was practiced in various ways by Spartan-IIs to improve their skills in the 26th century.{{Ref/Novel|Id=HGOOC19|GoO|Chapter=19}}


[[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] [[Artificial Intelligence]] constructs are fascinated by Zen philosophy because of their natural creativity and limited life span. [[Dr. Catherine Halsey]], designer of many of these AIs, is sometimes able to manipulate them by presenting them with Zen philosophies.<ref>'''[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]''', ''page 178''</ref>
