Buddhism and Zen. The Path to Oneself. The Reality of Zazen. The Path with Heart.

Zen grew out of Buddhism and Taoism and has remained a unique form of Buddhism for centuries. Zen readily accepts all that is true in any religion, acknowledges followers of all beliefs who have attained complete understanding; however, it is... known that a person whose religious upbringing was based on dualism, despite their serious intentions, will experience unnecessary difficulties for a long time before achieving enlightenment. No one is able to describe enlightenment to another person. To feel it, one must achieve it independently. A teacher can point the way or assist the student with their guidance, but the actual work, as well as the attainment of enlightenment, entirely depends on the student.
