This article is, from what I can tell, genuinely well informed. Throughout the last few years I've read around 8 books on Buddhism, Meditation as a practice, and Zen Buddhism. And some of the differences that popped up were bizarre to me. Incredibly so in the Tibetan side of the literature. Even more so because I started with a very westernized view: The Zen Programmer. It took me over a year of some non-focused research to get a general idea of what was going on, and I feel this article actually summarizes, and ties it together pretty well. It is fairly simplistic of course, but you can't go too in depth in a handful of pages. I do feel they explained the situation more eloquently than I would have.
