the OP's have got very boring lately so i thought i'd liven it up
my basic contention is that you can't redefine a word away from the common public perception of what it is, so the question is, what is that perception ?
so looking at this travel log of the zen masters and acolytes of one of the best known zen centers , you can't get away from zen being buddhist
and actually john loori was not as strongly buddhist as the mount tremper monastery has become
i was thinking even alan watts does not dissociate zen from buddhism and since his zen contacts were buddhist, that's to be expected
the western perception of zen is overwhelmingly dominated by the many soto/rinzai zen centers
