According to David Chapman, [modern Zen was basically invented by D.T. Suzuki](http://meaningness.wordpress.com/2011/07/02/zen-vs-the-u-s-navy/) , and doesn't have much to do with original Zen or even with Buddhism in general. Is this true? Is modern Zen closer to other Western Buddhist traditions than to original Zen?
