I, personally, feel that the zen masters know what's up when they say that it's best for us not to cling to dogma-texts, rituals, etc. That's not to say that texts and rituals can't be used by people, just not clung to. Meditation definitely nourishes the soul, but everything else in your practice is pretty much personal preference. Trust your heart; only you know what's right for you. =)
