Is American Zen alot like implementing the ~technical dimension~ of buddha and buddha mind? . .thanks

Does the ~technical dimension~ have something to do with dukkha? . .

Hi Wesley,

Thanks for your message about this thread, in search of an answer.
However, I really cannot comment: I don't know about "American Zen".
I'm not American, don't live in America, and don't know much about (Japanese) Zen.
All I can maybe throw in, is something about the Chinese traditions,
but I think that really may be a different topic.
Sorry!

I think its the physical & human dimension of the historical Buddha when he explains the -arising of dukkha- and the -cessation of dukkha-.
