A. It helped us to see our real connections to the natural world, and how it was not all good. It helped us to see how the dictatorial system of politics was natural but wrong. It helped us to start to see beyond the magical beliefs of religion and to start searching for real answers. It started the movement to better the individual by more control of their own economic welfare or Capitalism.

I think the intelligent way to answer this question is to state that some colonists embraced Evangelical ideas at the same time as other colonists followed Enlightenment ideas. I do not think the intent of the question involves the same individual colonist sincerely holding both sets of ideas at the same time. I think you should discuss the growth of freedom of religion in colonial America. You can also mention that some people attended Evangelical churches for social and political reasons, but actually held Enlightenment ideas and kept them secret from everyone except their most trusted friends.

A. Zen is distinguished from other sects of Buddhism by NOT depending on words and speech. Rather than studying Buddha's words, Zen practitioners are only concerned with Buddha's mind. Zen teaching points to our original mind, before thinking. Like a clear mirror, this mind reflects this very moment. In Zen, what you're doing right now is most important. What's NOT so important is holding concepts, such as "enlightenment" etc etc. "Enlightened" and "unenlightened" are empty names.
