Question
I'm doing a basic introduction presentation to Zen Buddhism and I hoping you could provide me some basic questions for my discussion.  Perhaps two or three questions that may stimulate the audiences mind.  Perhaps something that may be relevant to the present.  I'm sort of in a jam here, thanks for reading this, much appreciated.

Answer
Dear Rich,
Please note that I speak for Advayavada Buddhism only.
If you want to know more about this form of Buddhism, please visit www.advayavada.nl.
As for your question, I must ask you to please search for Ch'an Buddhism, Rinzai Zen and Soto Zen on the internet.
A beautiful poem which shall give you the essence of Zen and of Advayavada Buddhism is the Hsin Hsin Ming, available on the internet and many Buddhist books.
Kind regards,
John Willemsens aka Advayavadananda.
