Zen Buddha is considered to be more of a philosophy since Zen followers don’t worship any god. Zen Buddhism is practiced by Samurai religion followers who meditate to uncover the meaning of life. Zen Buddha has a glorious past and it was derived from Buddhism and has been derived from Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism. In order to understand the true meaning of Zen Buddha one needs to meditate to get to know its deeper meaning.
One of the closest translations of Zen Buddhism is contemplation and the basic forms of contemplation is Shamatha and Vipshayana.

In Zen Buddhism its followers do not worship any particular god but worship the complexity of mind and body. Following no faith has been derived from a number of cultures prevailing in the east. Zen Buddha started off in Japan and therefore it has borrowed certain aspects from the Japanese culture. It might be a little difficult for a common man to understand the real picture of this form of Buddhism but people who embrace Zen Buddha have a greater chance of seeking enlightenment.
Zen Buddhism refers to the school of Mahayana Buddhism which has been known for its emphasis on acceptance of the present moment, spontaneous actions and letting of judgmental thinking. The emergence of Zen Buddha as a distinct school of Buddhism was documented in China in the seventh century.
