He got this zen look on his face.

What does this sentence mean?He got this zen look on his face.

It appears in the following context:

-- Hey. So, what did Carl say when you confronted him?

-- You'll love this. He said."it doesn't mean anything. It was just sex."

Yeah, and then he got this zen look on his face, and he said, "you know, Susan,most men live lives of quiet desperation."

Thanks.
