Zen is basically training the "philosophy muscle" to failure thereby arriving pure being (tathātā/dharmatā). Nagarjuna basically does this same thing with a formal philosophical system rather than a dialectical process. It's beautiful in contrast to the humanity of chan/song Zen.

It’s archetypal, kinda like Odin losing an eye in exchange for knowledge. The body is damaged, and this is a catalyst for gnosis
