My experience has been w Rinzai zen, so take what I say w a grain of salt. Rinzai is different from Soto zen. Rinzai de-emphasizes the conceptual.

Rinzai is intuitive and highly practical. If you want more info on this simplified path, tune into my brother on YouTube. Simply type in: Jeff Shore. Buddhist lectures
