Is there a non zen version of Buddhism?
replied 2093d
sure, zen is a Mahayana type of Buddhism. Zen is a tradition that begins when Buddha instead of giving a speech, sit quietly and suddenly rose his hand holding a flower.

Seeing that Mahākāśyapa smiles signifies the direct transmission of wisdom without words. He is the first patriarch of zen lineage. It's a mind to mind buddhism we can say.
