The Buddha and the Buddha's Belief
Traditionally, god is associated with belief. But the zen people came in when buddhism had already become very much a mental phenomenon. And they wanted to get to the essence. When you experience you no longer have a conflict with anybody else who has also experienced you. You'll recognize the truth in other traditions. As long as only have belief, youe in conflict with anybody whosays a different belief,. because a belief ultimately is ideology.
