The mods here think that Zen is an historical and literary phenomenon and not a directly accessible truth to be discovered and discussed.

Why are we afraid to discuss the actual substance that Zen Masters™ pointed to?

It's easier to name-drop books you've read than to grasp reality and articulate it in your own words.

It's easier to constrict the range of the subject material than it is to read widely.

Why so afraid to learn from controversial figures?
