- Zen Buddhism is a mixture of Indian Mahayana Buddhism and Taoism.
- The essence of Zen is attempting to understand the meaning of life directly, without being misled by logical thought or language.
- Zen is something a person does. It's not a concept that can be described in words.
- Zen does not depend on words - it has to be experienced in order to 'understand'.
- Zen is not a philosophy or a religion.
- Zen in its essence is the art of seeing into the nature of one's own being, and it points the way from bondage to freedom.
- The essence of Zen lies in knowing yourself completely.
- Zen is meditation.
