Zen is a meditative practice that can allow you to move towards enlightenment through the paradoxical realization that you are already enlightened. It is remembering and re-establishing your original nature in daily consciousness. 
It is a process of taking away, not adding; an idea that is counter-intuitive to people with a Western education. Zen practice cultivates a meditative state of no thought, just pure, heightened awareness. 
This is a introduction to the basic idea of Zen - a primer for the curious, with more detailed videos that follow on.

21st Century Zen is a distillation of the underlying truths that are the enduring foundation of this ancient tradition, expressed in simple, modern English. This will help people unfamiliar with ancient Chinese and Japanese modes of expression.  

Purists might object that this approach departs too much from the purity of the centuries-old teachings. Every effort has been made to preserve the essential meaning of the original teachings and express it in modern language. The outward form that a book like this takes is less important than the meaning that lies at its heart. 

The original texts are not difficult to obtain. A few minutes of web searching would produce usable results. It could be interesting to read both this and the older forms and compare them for fidelity. Or you could simply read this book and put it into practice.
