I am doing a group presentation on Zen Buddhism and i was assigned to research the heirarchy of it such as Zen having any leaders and their duties and if women are leaders, or how involved they are in the religion of Zen?
Does anyone know about any of this or know any websites???

In buddhism there are a few subdivisions. I am deeply intreaged by buddhism and needing information from someone elses perspective. I am looking for the most calmest and peaceful subdivision. Also I am a big believer in sexual equality, and I know there are different views of the roles of men and women within the different divisions:
Theravada Buddhism
Mahayana Buddhism
Korean Zen Buddhism
Nichiren Buddhism
Pure Land Buddhism
Tibetan Buddhism.
Zen Buddhism
Please can someone help, 10 points for the best

I remember seeing a document that explained that there were 9 or 10 “worlds” that your spirit can be living in… like “heaven” “hell” “bodhisatva” etc…
Do you know the others? Also, what kind of Buddhism is this that I’m referring to? Is it the same in Zen Buddhism?

I started practicing Zen Buddhism and it has made me notice my surroundings and such more but I am lacking the consistent effort to do things I plan at certain hours. Any advice?
Simple things like eating, sleeping, waking, showering, etc.
I’m sure you have these same bad habits to some extent. How do you remain disciplinary?

I was raised as a Christian. As I started seeing how judgemental and mean some of them can be I cut myself off from it. Then I tried to give it another shot, but as I was reading the bible I just couldn’t feel it anymore. Some of the stuff just seemed too hateful and I couldn’t understand. After some tresearch I converted to Zen Buddhism and I love it. I just don’t know how to tell my parents about this. Any Advice?
