Ed,
If you mean does zen recognize Free Will or Predestination (karma),

If as Buddha is reputed to have said, "Karma is intention", then belief
in Free Will generates no less "karma" than belief in fate. Free Will vs
Determinism is false-self pitting its arrogance against its ignorance.
There is no separating such beliefs. Both, and any attachment/aversion
toward them, arise as aspects of ignorance of our true nature.
