Zen reasoning

Hey All, I hope you can help me.

I'm requesting Zen quotes that have to do with:

1. Philosophy is not the way --> i want arguments to that end that are themselves logical.

ie how did ZMs dismiss Aristotle and Kant and Hegel and whoever, without even actually reading them? What do I mean by logical? I am not looking to ZMs using their obvious unimpeded functioning as 'argument'.

Like, we listen to ZMs because they're hard to imagine they're for real, but they keep being intensely for real. But we listen to Kant because he wrote a bunch of what he wrote. I'm looking for quotes that reflect the latter way of reasoning, as much as possible, in this bullet point and below.

2. Same kind of logical reasoning that talks about any type of conditions being not the way.ie Someone might say that being in nature all the time and eating pure organic food is the way -- how to counter?

3. Logical reasoning being not the way.

4. Instant X being the way. (fill in ur preferred symbol for X)
