Meditation. It's meditation. Jhana, or Dhyana, or Chan, or Zen, all mean meditation. As in, the means to the end which is the 8th fold of the noble eightfold path. As in, it's a particular school of buddhism which focuses on or specializes in teaching meditation practice. Outside of this context, it has no reason for existence, no coherent view or doctrine on any topic, and is not understandable. Anyone who could fail to understand this really hasn't read any of the relevant books which define the context in which Zen arose, which is a necessary prerequisite to studying Zen. You know who you are. Go read a book. Or even just wikipedia. It's really not that hard.
