%X zen buddhism is an oriental religion that since several decades has expanded in various western countries, argentina being one of them. the complex ritualization of its everyday practices is a considerable characteristic of zen buddhist community life. in our exploration of the ritual dimension of zen, first we will investigate how this contributes to the creation of a sacred time and place. after this, we will show how ritual practices are considered a pedagogic recourse by group members; a means to make possible their training of a different way of being in the world, of experimenting, living and perceiving both themselves and others in a different way. some elements of the often complex zen ritual play a highly important part as technologies of the self.
