Questions that Zazen Buddhists can't answer... Even when they are claiming Zen's name

1. No academic has ever linked Shikantaza to Soto Zen.

2. No Zen master ever gotten lightened from a prescribed system of meditation.

3. Academics proved that Shikantaza was invented by Dogen, which means Dogen was a fraud.

While Zazen Buddhists hide behind paywalls and church doors, the great translation tide has turned the conversation toward topics that Buddhism has never been able to tolerate.

Why can't any Buddhist anywhere on the internet discuss these questions?

Somebody giftes us the first English translation of Rujing this year... the Zen Master that Zazen Buddhists claim as their link to Zen?

Guess what?

They don't want to talk about him either.

r/Zen was also gifted this year. The first ever translation of Mingben, Zen master from considerably after the 1200s when Zazen was invented.

Guess what?

Nobody was ever interested in Zazen, until the Boomers made it popular Christian dropouts in the US.

And Zazen Buddhist still want to talk about that either.
