View submission: Is zazen truly Zen?
The way I see it, there is the philosophical tradition: writers like Plato, Heraclitus, Wittgenstein, who all on their own themes and level, came up with a theory. On the other hand is the scientific tradition, now most seen in medicine and psychology, testing hypothesis in a quantitative way, following people like Wundt or Galilei. What I’m saying is you cant’t criticise Dogen for his writings being ‘his own inventions’ when in his time and age, this philosophical approach was the only one around. Hope this makes sense for you.
