meta: a translation is a claim, usually unfounded

in the case of zen

that a person actually said what was translated

what is the philology ?

was the person historically real

how do you know that that person said it and not someone else

how do you know the transcription was accurate

how do you know the copies were accurate

how do you know its not a "literati" hack

how do you know the translator was not biased ?

incidentally the koran makes anything look accurate, its such nightmare of the above problems
