Aside from a general feeling that it is better to be "good", not very much. Zen Buddhism has no god, salvation, rules (like commandments), heaven, Jesus equivalent - all the trappings of Christianity.
Zen Buddhism does have a feeling that enlightenment comes by internal training from a persons own resources, a belief in the instantaneous appreciation of the proper things to do in any situation driven by the situation not b any deities rules, and a belief in reincarnation.
