You keep using the term Zen as a generic term, when there are three distinct schools. If you're actually interested in accuracy in your comments, then what you *should* say regarding "the samurai" is that they adopted the rinzai school's teachings and incorporated it into their martial ethos (sometimes called bushido). But again, and again, and again... the teachings of rinzai are focused on learning to disregard one's own death and have *nothing* to do with dehumanizing others.
As soon as you stop using Zen generically I'll stop bringing it up.
