Prognosis regarding Zen Buddhism in the future...
I believe Zen Buddhism has high potential in being a greater significance to society's religions in the future. This type of Buddhism is mainly circulated around meditation and finding your inner peace in a world that brings pain and suffering. Schools, not only in countries such as China and India, are building quickly and significantly to ensure this teaching of finding one's self in meditation - starting with those at a young age so that generations to come may be educated on this type of Buddhism. Authority figures in communities, politics and the media are also slowly turning towards Zen in some locations in the Western area, which then encourages society even more.
