Zen purports to lead its adherents to insights akin to that mentioned by
Śākyamuni Buddha in his Flower Sermon in which he held up a white flower

Śākyamuni Buddha picked that disciple as one who truly understood him
and who was worthy to be his successor. -

This is why one of my major usernames, on AIM for instance, is Kasyapa.
