Cha'n is a Chinese school of Buddhism. When Ch'an traveled from China to Korea is became know as Seon. When Ch'an entered Vietnam it became know as Thien. When Ch'an went to Japan it became known as Zen.
Ch'an is a personal experience of reality without the addition and distraction of our own ideas and opinions. It's an unfiltered experience.
Attempting to use language to describe the experience, or to even think about it only obscures it.
The experience is happening 24 hours a day, every single day of a life. The experience is always happening.
Awareness, mindfulness, attention; these are the tools we use to experience the experience.
