"I refer to 'zen' (lower-case 'z') as a common noun and refers just to
the kernel of techniques and teachings that lead you to first experience
Buddha Nature and then to more fully integrate that experience into your
daily life. I use the term 'Buddha Nature' but it is actually just an
awareness of pure, unadulterated, holistic sensory experience before the
intellect goes to work creating the illusion of dualism and then
subjecting experience to all sorts of rational processing such as
filtering, augmenting, categorizing, associating, " etc.
This is the zen I use every day and the sages who love words, words and
more words are unhappily part of the of the intellectual realm that is
working overtime complicating simplicity.
