Another question...
Each tradition (religious, philosophical etc) aquires a particular flavor depending on a culture it grows within.

How do the "flavors" of ZEN (practice, rituals, even philosophical details) vary dependent on the cultures it grew within? ... for example this community/forrum (although world-wide) seem to grew out of Japanese culture).

Or is the tradition consistent a cross all cultures? Is it even possible?
