I'm often a bit suspicious of people who do 'intro to Zen' articles, videos etc - but today found one that I thought was very good. It's from "Religion for Breakfast", a channel from religious studies scholar Dr Andrew Henry, and while the vids are aimed at a public audience, they're clearly delivered from an academically authoritative place.
I've been watching his videos for a while, so when this came up I had to check it out - and I was surprised and pleased with his presentation. Definitely worth sharing, so...
Enjoy!
