it probably contains human errors same as any software that needs debugging.

i interpreted question not invited by budhist, but as an attack on Christian faith, "you have faith why not zeus, budhist or zen" but budhist according to its own followers is non prophet prophecy.

not like outsiders claiming bible quran is false prophet but even its own belivers say not a message from god.

in contrast to bible is.

i also see the atheist 2 step "trap" you call others wrong maybe yours is just as bad?

again budhist... according to its BELIVERS is not from wise god. god means perfect strength n perfect wise, so how use strength is by perfect wisdom n also lessons are perfect wisdom in contrast to human.

specific to zen, most budhists reject zen despite belief budhism, it failed to attract.

also all buudhism even the kids dont accept faith of parents. the only ones increasing are the protestant with proof and the one thst families n neighbors fear each other.

Not really.

I live in a mainly Buddhist country - and can't say that I'm impressed.

But of course I ''studied'' some basics, so that I am prepared for the bullshit around me.

What did you intrested?

[andreasderjuengere]

I had been interested in why such an old philosophy and culture (or way of life) had deteriorated into a greedy and superficial society. If it were the U. S., I'd somewhat tolerate it, because those have little own and ''old'' culture. From a long established culture I would have expected more.
It's not only ''Zen'', but the entire thing.

Yes and no. Zen Buddhism specifically is different from philosophical Buddhism and while I can greatly admire those who dedicate their life to their religion, Zen Buddhism can be a bit on the aggressive side in asserting power religiously. I have very little interest in joining the religion personally, but the texts and doctrine of Buddha contain a wealth of wisdom that I’m happy to look through and contemplate myself. Buddhism is all about the cessation of suffering and finding ways to do so for oneself and those they interact with, with the greatest form of suffering being death. Obviously death can’t be stopped, but reading and hearing about the ways Buddhism handles suffering in both physical and emotional ways is fascinating and it can be related back to a lot of modern day spiritual practices, showing its huge influence.

Not particularly. I find the philosophy underlying Bhuddism to be overly simple.
