How would Zen texts look like without the cultural backdrop of Buddhism?

I think a lot of confusion arises due to ZMs using Buddhist terms that are very far removed from the modern west (probably far removed from modern Buddhism as well).

They even bounce off their ideas on Buddhist teachings about dharma, Buddha, nirvana etc.

How would a ZM talk in, say, medieval Europe at the time of the crusades?
