Difference in Buddhism and Zen Buddhism?

What are the main differences? I've begun to do some reading on Zen and really feel comfortable with it- the belief in karma, a reason for suffering and lessons to be learned etc...

Any insight or links that might be helpful?

 

This looks to be a really good site Fred - http://www.age-of-the-sage.org/buddhism/ There are wee sub-links, and Zen Buddhism is one of them. I sort of started reading into the differences, but started to butcher the interpretation, so I thought it best that I leave it alone . Here's another thread on Zen Buddhism though - http://www.khandro.net/Bud_paths_Zen.htm.

 

thanks HG- interesting reading there.

 

I think there's a lot to be said about the quality of life pursuing Buddhism has the potential to bring about. Meditation, relaxation, and a non-violent outlook on life aren't bad things.

But the catch comes when this life is over.
