Zen Talking

Zen is a tradition from India that passed into China. Zen culture is based on the Five Lay Precepts, teachings compatible with the Four Statements of Zen, and Zen"s only practice: Public Interview. The Zen reddit forum has a huge diversity of discussion about Zen ranging from scholarship and unique translation work to doctrinal discussions based on Zen"s history: Why is Zen not compatible with Buddhism? Why are meditation religions not the Zen they claim to be? What are koans about?
