Of all the traditions that I've studied, the Thai Forest Tradition may be the most practical/pragmatic of them all, for serious seekers of truth and peace. Good luck!

Hello Cloud,

Agree. I practice Soto Zen with a reformed school that has leave aside all the metaphysical additions to the teachings. We basically focus in Zazen and the understanding and practice of the Four Noble Truths. This given sense of directness and practicality is similar to the approach of Theravada tradition and I feel really comfortable with the view given by the Theravada teachers. They sound Zen to me.
