how do Buddhists calm their mind and focus?

Answer
Dear Ruby,
 Meditation is the most common technique used by Buddhists to still the mind and to focus.  There are other techniques used too such as mindfulness and koan practice but the most commonly used is meditation.

I can answer questions dealing with Taoist philosophy and Zen and not the historicity and religion of Buddhism and its different schools. I studied under Dr. Richard DeMartino and Masao Abe of the Kyoto School of Zen.
