It doesn't matter who it is, even if it's god personally, it's data to you. Someone else's verdict can never automatically be your verdict.

Ancient buddhists noticed a pattern of perceptual and mood shifts that happen over the course of meditation called "the progress of insight". First it starts pretty good, then gets uncomfortable, then gets great, then gets rough, then ends up very chill. That redditor who thinks zen is all fiery got stuck in the rough part, or the "dukkha nanas", and is in no position to be telling other people what meditation is like when done competently.

There is a sutta where the Buddha says that someone who couldn't find happiness neither in householder's nor Buddhist life failed at both. There are Jhanas that are "Nibbana here and now" and they're achievable even in normal non monastic life.

Dukkha nanas are result of pure Vipassana practice.

Dukkha nanas should result from any insight practice, which would include zen koans, diety yoga, or any of the other practices designed to invoke a perception of sunyata or the 3 marks of existence.
