Het scepticisme van de Zenboeddhisten ten opzichte van het gewijde karakter van ikonen (religieuze schilderijen en beelden) is duidelijk geïllustreerd in een schilderij van Yintuoluo (midden veertiende eeuw), waarin "de monnik van Danxia met een houten boeddhabeeld een vuurtje stookt".
Met uitzondering van enkele gevallen zoals de monnik van Danxia, is er geen bewijs te vinden voor dergelijk fanatisme binnen Zen.
Het is echter nooit gezwicht voor de verering van iconen, die zo een prominente rol speelde in andere scholen van het boeddhisme.
