Supposedly Winnie the Pooh is Zen-like, at least according to "The Tao of Pooh." And physics is Zen-like, according to "The Tao of Physics." Personally, I think you'd be better served by just reading the Pooh books and studying physics.

Don't know about Winnie the Pooh but there is a very strong crossover between physics and Zen. Both (as I understand it) are essentially studies of cause and effect in an impassive and chaotic universe.

An excellent TV series for understanding Buddhism (not necessarily the same thing as zen, but again there are crossovers) is the 70s kungfu comedy masterpiece Monkey Magic. It uses a load of mythological metaphors to demonstrate the buddhist way of thinking. Loads of cool kungfu, character comedy and improbable magic too. It's a really good watch, try to find it on video. (Then lend it to me=-)

(BTW, I wasn't really serious about speed meditation. Just in case anyone missed the mile-wide sarcasm=-)
