Words Do Not Make Zen

Zen is silence above all.
It has nothing to do with the reconstruction of more or less fantasized traditions.
When you sit in silence and stand in truth, that is Zen.
When you construct an armada of zennish concepts, that has nothing to do with it, even if it is impressive, noisy, widespread, and valorized.

Just as clothes do not make the man,
words do not make Zen.
