=>I would think that it excludes "zion" for it seems to have quite
different meaning from dhyana & zen.
Really? Why?
I think Zion or Sion (lat.-gr.) is exactly in Hebrew what is also meant with
Dhyana or Zen: A city on a hill, the chosen city of god and his people.
I can't see any difference in content between the terms, even in its
materialized today explanation, nor did you expalin the phonetical identity.
Is it an accident?
The schools of Dzyan are also on a hill as every esoteric school. Wisdom and
meditation are the usual translation for Dzyan and that is also exactly what
is the business of god/gods and his chosen people.
