Roman Catholic AnswerA while back there was an article in Time magazine about the world's great religion and they mentioned Buddhism, of which Zen is a subset of. Several Buddhists wrote in over the following weeks pointing out that Buddhism is NOT a religion. Catholicism, like Judaism, is a revealed religion, in which God is revealing Himself to man and telling him exactly what he should be doing and not doing. Catholicism is focused on God and His revelation, Buddhism is a philosophy of self that is centered on self, and does not address the Divine.

Catholicism is the original Christian denomination, while Zen is a Buddhist sect.

The third: Apostolic Succession which is an unbroken chain of successors going back to the Apostles. There you have it three differences.
