Religion is a social behavior, which includes three aspects:

1>Belief, which is the purpose and central idea of ??the religion!

2> The organization is the church, which is easy to understand!

3>Etiquette, including sacrificial activities, reward and punishment systems, etc.!

4>Culture, as the organization grows and ideas spread, Religion is spread more widely in the form of culture!

Mainly manifested in architecture, music, painting, etc.!

Zen Buddhism pays attention to Zen enlightenment, but does not pay attention to vulgar etiquette when receiving precepts. , although Buddhism itself is a religion! Zen still has the purpose of Buddhism!

But personally, I think Zen does not pay attention to the exchange of etiquette and culture, so it is almost divorced from the concept of a religious team! Define it as academic research!
