In other words, what you term as "mind" has never truly been my foundation, for I believe the true self is an emotional, clear, constantly experiential being. To me enjoyable, emotional experience is true intelligence, true mind.
Additionally, as you intend by the term "no-mind", you will find very little rational "mind-based" doctrine in traditional Zen. To accept and truly enjoy, understand a school of thought with very little clear literature, you have to know what it's about emotionally. I believe I do.
At first I thought it was a religion about nothing. I now know it's about being, about humanity finding its way of intuitive, peaceful being in the present moment.
Zen is found internally, not externally. To find it externally is to play the part but not enjoy its benefits.
