Welcome New People! What format do you want?

I'm told that we need to welcome new people more effectively... so how do we do that, new people?

The only link new people need in this forum?

The only book new people need to read in this forum?

https://www.sacred-texts.com/bud/zen/mumonkan.htm

The only warning new people need in this forum?

The [Dogenism] school holds that shikantaza [Zazen] originated in China and was transmitted to the founder of [Dogenism], Dōgen Kigen 道元希玄 (1200–1253), by his Chinese teacher Tiantong Rujing 天童如淨 (1163–1228). However, the term shikantaza does not appear in surviving Chinese documents, and most nonsectarian scholars now approach [Zazen] “simply sitting” as a Japanese innovation...

The only basis of Zen people need to refer to?

The Four Statements in the sidebar, which I over explained big time here: https://www.mediafire.com/file/zyjh8kpb7akwjyw/The+Four+Statements+of+Zen+by+ewk.pdf/file
