Daoism's effect on Chan / Zen Buddhism

Posted on 02. Aug, 2011 by Srisuda H in Questions about Daoism, BUDDHISM, chan, Daoism, Zen

Hi there, Everyone:

I am a Theravada Buddhist from Thailand and I was hoping you might be able to tell me what the impact of Daoism is on Buddhism as practiced in the Chan and Zen Schools of China and Japan.

I guess there must be quite a big impact, so if this question is too broad then if you could recommend a resource or two that would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
