You have much to learn. The Zen that can be accurately criticized is not the true Zen.
Just like a Westerner to paraphrase Taoism when commenting on Zen.
I'm a Zen Taoist -- I worship an unspeakable shapeless void that doesn't exist.
That sounds like the No True Scotsman fallacy to me.
The source of existence does not itself exist. The necessary precondition for a property can never possess that property itself.
This would be clearer if you could explicitly state what you mean when you assert that something exists, but I very strongly suspect you can't do so. (You're hardly alone in this, so it's no particular shame if it's the case.) I could of course be mistaken.
