    Hi.

    It all depends on what you "put in" into "religion".

    It can be both and neither.

      Thanks for the reply's everyone.

      Like I posted earlier, my own view now, is that Zen can't really be limited to anything. Zen can be everything.

      I think theres a quote that goes something like:

      When Zen becomes Zen, there is no Zen.

      Namaste
      When Dharma does not fill your whole body and mind, you may assume it is already sufficient. When Dharma fills your body and mind, you understand that something is missing.

        What ever you think it is, it's not that. Now where does that leave us?
