What Is Zen?

Zen is the universal life force and the universal wisdom common to all in the universe.

According to Zen Master Wu Jue Miao Tian:''

"Zen is the Supreme true light, the utmost true wisdom, the universal true kindness, the absolute true capability, the unlimited true freedom, and the everlasting true life force. If one oneself could witness and resonate with, one is Buddha."''

Therefore Zen is the mother to all. It is the ONE, and not the TWO balancing each other as in Taoism. Zen encompasses all whether natural or artificial, living or not living.

To Zen, Chan and Zen are the same. You and me are one. The Zen in Japan, Korean, Chinese, Thai, Vietnam are all but one.

Therefore Zen is best taught and acquired "without words and without formality" as it was originally transmitted from Shakyamuni to Kasyapa.

The challenge to Wikipedia is how to maintain the branches and trees of its content about Zen while also maintain its spirit and philosophy.

The reason being, there is no right and no wrong in Zen. Everying statement about Zen has its reasons.
