Additional Notes:
Chinese (traditional) ..... 始於約六世紀的一個中國佛教派別,結合大乘佛教與道教的教誨,認為應靠冥想而非智力開悟。和日本禪宗密切相關。此詞彙也可用來指稱一般中國佛教裡說的靜坐冥想。 
Dutch ..... Verwijst naar een school in het Chinese boeddhisme die waarschijnlijk dateert uit de 6de eeuw, en die de mahayana-leer combineert met die van het taoïsme. In het hierdoor ontstane geloofssysteem ligt de nadruk meer op een meditatieve dan op een intellectuele benadering van verlichting. Tsj'an is nauw verbonden met zen. De term kan ook worden gebruikt om in het algemeen te verwijzen naar meditatie in het Chinese boeddhisme. 
Spanish ..... Se refiere a la escuela del budismo chino probablemente fechado en el siglo VI que combina enseñanzas mahayanas con aquellas del taoísmo para formar un sistema de creencias que enfatiza un método meditativo más que intelectual para la iluminación. Está estrechamente relacionado al Zen. El término también puede ser usado para referirse generalmente a la meditación en el budismo chino.
