It seems to me that the legends of Zen should shed the shell of Buddhism and begin a new life as liberated truth. The historical Buddha would not have come into being were it not for the culture that made his existence inevitable. The extremely advanced technologies of being of 500 BC India should embarrass any modern fast-track psych-track guru. It is only the vast emptiness of modernity that stands between us and the people of those times.
