MathemArtist.com Zen is widely practiced through the arts. Traditions such as the tea ceremony, ikebana (flower arrangement), and calligraphy require meditative concentration and are known for inducing a kind of calm and bridging the perceived gap between internal experience and external reality. In the tea ceremony, practitioners perform precise, ritualized movements while "giving" beauty, order, and sustenance to their guests; folding a napkin just so is for the benefit of others first and then for oneself. For this reason, tea practitioners often say that "tea and Zen are one." For most Zen practitioners, all activities from chanting to bathing to cooking are considered Zen practice, with no particular activity elevated over others.
