Post Summary:
I was thinking about how to characterize Zen texts by saying the main thing the texts were against. I don't think there's a right answer, but there are answers that aren't really reasonable.
Zhaozhou - anti philosophy
Huangbo - anti Buddhism
Foyan - anti-teachers
Wumen - anti noobs
Yuanwu - anti lazy
Wansong - anti ignorance
Mingben - anti- conceptual
