I am interested in learning about the Zen Buddhism but unlike other major religions it doesn't have a central text (Bible, Koran, etc). What are some essential writings (best English translation) as well as good summaries of the concepts?|||There is no official central text of Zen Buddhism, but there is a vast literature.
I would recommend the Dhammapada to anyone interested in Buddhism. It's a central text to all Buddhism, not just Zen.
For a good introduction to Zen, I would recommend "Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind" by Shunryu Suzuki.|||The Zen Teaching of Bodhidharma
http://www.amazon.com/Zen-Teaching-Bodhi鈥?/a>|||http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zen_at_War|||anything by the dalai lama =D that and the intraveb has some good resources
