Indian ''dhyāna'' was translated as ''chán'' in Chinese, and ''zen'' in Japanese. Ideologically the [[Zen|Zen-tradition]] emphasizes [[Prajñā (Buddhism)|prajñā]] and [[Subitism|sudden insight]], but in the actual practice prajñā and samādhi, or sudden insight and gradual cultivation, are paired to each other.{{sfn|McRae|2003}}{{sfn|Hui-Neng|1998}} Especially some lineages in the [[Rinzai school|Rinzai school of Zen]] stress sudden insight, while the [[Sōtō]] school of Zen lays more emphasis on [[shikantaza]], training awareness of the stream of thoughts, allowing them to arise and pass away without interference. Historically, many traditional Japanese arts were developed or refined to attain ''samādhi'', including [[Kōdō|incense appreciation]] (香道, ''kodō''), [[Ikebana|flower arranging]] (華道, ''kadō''), the [[Japanese tea ceremony|tea ceremony]] (茶道, ''sadō''), [[Japanese calligraphy|calligraphy]] (書道, ''shodō''), and martial arts such as [[Kyudo|archery]] (弓道, ''kyūdō''). The Japanese character 道 means ''the way'' or ''the path'' and indicates that disciplined practice in the art is a path to ''samādhi''.{{citation needed|date=July 2021}}
