Facts
Assessment
Reliability Tier
3
Reliability tier 3: a Wikipedia entry, written and revised by unnamed volunteer editors, suited to an uncontested, easily checked point about a meditation practice rather than a disputed claim.
Notes
Wikipedia's article on zazen, consulted 2026-08-11. A perpetually community-edited reference page rather than a peer-reviewed publication; used here for breath-counting's roots in Kumarajiva's and Zhiyi's early Chinese Buddhist writings and for named teachers' differing approaches to it (Shunryu Suzuki against Kosho Uchiyama and Shohaku Okumura), attributed claims rather than the atlas's own judgment.
