I just finished my final paper for my Zen: Thought and Practice course taught by Brian Schroeder. I decided that Zen teachings, at least as translated and written for Western cultures, have as their primary weakness some basic misconceptions about Western theories of language, and that writings within Zen on the language of Zen are rather bad at capturing the problems and proposed solutions. Have a read, if you have a bit. I certainly enjoyed writing it, and I’m sure many people would certainly enjoy making fun of it :) Here she is: Wittgenstein and the Language of Zen.
