mahayana

But it was Chán till the Japanese iterated on it and disrupted the Mahayana world.

Bayesians, on the other hand, are perfectly happy talking more directly about the probability that Mahayana Buddhists eat more white bread.

It's a valid observation of what Zen is compared to other Mahayana traditions.

My view of Buddhism is heavily Mahayana and Vajrayana based, and I know little of Hinayana and the other 'vehicles'.

There is also Chan, Zen, Pure Land, Mahayana and Theravada Buddhism.

What I wrote about mostly comes from my readings of Mahayana Buddhist texts.

Is that an innovation of Mahayana or Vajrayana Buddhism?

Many ideas floating in Western discourse are basically German Romanticism wrapped in Orientalist packaging, not matching neither Theravada nor Mahayana teachings (for example, see the Fake Buddha Quotes project).

As I recall, Mahayana Buddhism generally requires a vegetarian diet.

In my understanding Zazen is Mahayana buddhism version of Vipassana, which comes from Theravada buddhism, but I am just a begginer so I can be horribly wrong.

It's a branch of Mahayana Buddhism, it's practised as a religion, in some regions it still has the aspects of Guru and Deity worship that have been inherited from the larger schools.

Intelligent religious scholars understand this well- for example Mahayana and Vajrayana Buddhism both teach nearly opposite and factually incompatible perspectives on almost everything, yet are often both used by the same religious teachers for different pupils as appropriate.

Weirdly, despite coming from a Vietnamese family (and being a blend of Đạo Mẫu and Mahayana Buddhist), the voices she hears are of a Christian-like "God".

Ironically, at least among Western Mahayana teachers it's very hard to find such a coherent and pragmatic framework as the one described in "Mindfulness in Plain English."

The Buddhist Mahayana concept of "emptiness" requires at the very least a few paragraphs to have a grasp, at best a couple of books on your belt.

This is how I apply that "all beings are Buddhas whether they know it or not" - an important meditation-object both in Mahayana and Vajrayana.

The book is not about this variety of Buddhism; Zen is a school of Mahayana; the book discusses Theravada.

Mahayana and Vajrayana are both branches of Buddhism that venerate texts most scholars of repute hold in very dubious regard.

There are definitely descriptions of virtuous and non-virtuous results of actions (karma) in Mahayana/Vajrayana Buddhism.
