I suppose you could ask.
 
Speaking for myself, it's been about a week since Zen
Buddhism came up in conversation with a friend, and there
was a brief mention in a conversation with different friends
two days ago.
 
Not that I'm an expert.

I read this in 1967 but never achieved enlightenment. Nor

Indeed, I knew it had something to do with meditation, but never
looked into it. FWIW, people who are very introverted are quite often
in a state of meditation in that unless we're asleep, our minds are
always processing something.

Introverts are natural deep thinkers. While extroverts are out there
being the life of the party, introverts are somewhere channeling
energies you didn’t even know existed. Their solitude isn’t just
"me-time"; it’s their superpower. That quiet moment you see? They’re
probably meditating, praying, or discerning whether your energy is
good or bad. You can’t fool them; they’re human lie detectors wrapped
in Zen vibes.
