A strangeness in modern Zen

There is a kind of strangeness in complicated Zen which is formidable to describe. Often it seems focussed on reworking Zen though not in a good way. This becomes apparentat least for mewhen I come across things like this from Jane Hirshfield who said: "Zen pretty most comes down to 3 things -- all changes; all is connected; compensate attention." Maybe this is what Zen comes down to for Jane, an American Zen lerned poet, or for her fans. But this ain't authentic Zen. It is not a Zen of China, Korea, Vietnam or even Japan. For one thing, her words have been miles detached from a Four Slogans of Zen.

A special transmission outside a Buddhist canon;
Without coherence upon words as well as letters.
Pointing without delay to a thoughts of man;
Seeing in to one's nature, realizing Buddhahood.

These 4 slogans can be summed up with, "awaken to your Buddha-nature." By comparison, Jane's 3 slogans, "everything changes; all is connected; compensate attention" leaves out a lot of essential Buddhism.

Yes, all changes, though there is something which does not change. This is what a Buddha became cordial about. The Buddha additionally referred to which it was everlasting (amrita). As for a explain which all is connected, in what approach have been they connected? How is grass furniture continuous to a sun, by what? How have been cow droppings continuous to an AK-47 Russian assault rifle? Again, by what have been they connected? As for a final slogan, compensate attention"to what is one ostensible to compensate attention, just anything? This doesn't have any sense.

If I were assigned to purify up Jane's 3 slogansmake 'em some-more Zen, in other words, I would present them this way.

All things change except a loyal Mind.
All things have been continuous by a loyal Mind.
Above all, see this loyal Minddaily compensate courtesy to it.

This is most improved than Jane's strange slogans. My spotless up version h! as a Zen ring to it; some-more importantly, it additionally chimes with Buddhism. One final thing, it is not dumbed down in to new age here & now, live in a moment gibberish.

Regrettably, this doesn't help answer a question of because complicated Zen is on a mission to correct traditional Zen, keeping the outdoor forms such as wearing robes as well as ceremonies, though transfer the middle core which is saying in to one's nature, realizing Buddhahood.
