How do I into Zen?

Are you actually looking to practice buddhism? You can just look online for the basic principles of zen buddhism and meditation. You should look online for a local meditation center to learn the proper technique though.

If you want authentic zen Buddhism you'll need to find a licensed zen master. Zen, like other Japanese groups are very big on direct transmission from teacher to student.

Read up on meditation.
See if there are any Sanghas in your area.
Attend their meditation sessions, and discuss zen with them.
