Slandering Buddha with bad intention is certainly bad karma.
When those "crazy zen" Buddhist say that Buddha Nature is
everywhere, they do not do so with bad intention.
They are merely talking from their own realisation -- Buddha
Nature is really all pervading. There is no bad or malicious intent
here.
But if you give rise to bad intention to defame the Buddha, that
is certainly bad karma.
but i think it's not crazy zen, the right word should be 狂妄,they
are definitely normal, but all of sudden, their state of mind are
different, they are so confident, they fear nothing, i don't know
whether they slandering buddha with bad intention, anyway, this
practice, make other people feel they are with bad intention, but
the point is not about bad intention, if they really want to stay
out of this, they will never slandering buddha, it's just where
they are, how they practise, to make them liberating, even now
there r someone debating with you, that, there is dharma in shit
and urine, you cannot say directly they are wrong, it's just what
they 悟到,but i feel buddhism is never such a narrow minded religion,
it accept everything, as long as it's not too much, it's not what
you dress, or shave your head, it's all about what's in your mind,
maybe someone who is non buddhist, is more enlightend than a monk,
you never know, just like huineng, he never literate, but he is
more enlightend,
