He uses Zen to enhance Christianity.

There are many similarities between zen and catholicism. I did a paper on it in my religion class last semester.

The benedictine form of meditation called Lectio Divina is also similar to the philosophy behind zen koans.

My experience of Zen was that it helped me to have a deeper understanding of Christianity.

Christians enthralled with Buddhist philosophy may do well to study the history of Zen Buddhism as practiced in Japan by samarai warriors in service to warlords. Zen's record is not all that peaceful or non-violent. Also Christians would do well to consider the findings of scientists studying Buddhist Monk's brains while meditating and finding a direct correlation between the monk's opinion of their individual progress towards satori state and their ability to shut down electrical imput into the brain's sense of self center where our sense of self resides. Buddhists are confusing brain manipulation for outer reality as they close down part of their brains responsible for the "I am" recognition. The tranquilized sense of self center, now an electrical void created by meditative technique, is projected to the outer world as the Void devoid of individual identity but it's all an illusion, a trick of the tranquilized mind.

Christ is not a Buddha telling you how to tranquilize your mind but the spiritual Son of God telling you how to save the world.
