What is the connection between Zen teachings and the words of Jesus?

Synthesized from Source definition

"The words of Zen and Jesus are mere pointers to the silence of the unknown; it is our misunderstanding that creates religion, while true understanding reveals the singular reality they both indicate."

Zen and Jesus point to the same wordless truth, and you catch it only by quiet, total listening.
