While many attempt to translate Zen Buddhism and explain it in words, it is often difficult to reach a sizable conclusion. Zen teachers strive to teach their disciples that some things cannot be explained in words, but can be learned only through direct personal experiences. Zen Buddhists believe that enlightenment cannot be achieved through words, for words are merely a logical description of some thing, and deal with no part of the true nature of the universe.
