I've studied quite a few religions, and the Zen I'm talking about isn't one. No God, no gods, no worship, no orthodoxy or dogma or gurus or priests or masters ... just mental liberation. A book of koans is the bible.

It's as easy to get trapped in the conundrums of material reductionism as any of the myriad traps that may involve our minds, monkey-and-cocoanut-style.
