Right, "experience" and 'TC" are contradictory only in a philosophical nit-picky sense. Zen Masters simply state that sitting in meditation is conducive to Enlightenment, but don't dwell on useless philosophical speculations on how one can attain That which everything already is. Such arguments are like trying to figure out typical paradoxes such as having a card upon which is written on both sides: "The statement on the other side of this card is false". It's a paradox.
