hilosophy, the understanding of ontology will spill out into other aspects of a worldview. It is the ontological perspective that primarily informs all other aspects. For example, the ontological concept “tawhid” or “Wahdatul Wujūd” in Islām shapes the Islamic epistemology, its metaphysics, psychology, ethics, and, eventually, law. Other than these principle aspects, some peripheral aspects such as aesthetics will also be influenced.
In Zen, the primary ontological concept is “Kū” (emptiness) which more or less issued forth from the Buddhist concept of “Sunyata” (void). This concept is, then, pervasive in the overall fabric of Zen philosophy- most evidently in its psychology. With that being said, Zen emphasizes much on the emptying of the mind from any voluntarily determined cognitive operation. Eventually, it spills out into Zen’s aesthetics or the understanding of the concept of beauty.

en Buddhism is a mixture of Indian Mahayana Buddhism and Taoism. It began in China, spread to Korea and Japan, and became very popular in the West from the mid 20th century. The essence of Zen is attempting to understand the meaning of life directly, without being misled by logical thought or language.
