Practitioners of Zen study how to act without fear.
Christ, then, was a true Zen Master. He did not seek physical security and He did not fear death.
Unfortunately, much of what Christ taught has been lost to history. What we do know is that when He reprimands his disciples in the Gospels, He basically accuses them of cowardice.
From this observation, it is easy to deduce that what Christ essentially taught his followers was how to be fearless.
So pay no attention to the pious mumbo-jumbo of the preachers and ministers who claim to understand the central message of Christ. Study how to act without fear.
