None, the light bulb does not want or need changing. To concern yourself over the matter is to show too much interest in the material world. It is either a time of light or a time of darkness - it is not zen to interfere with the natural order.

The answer is none. In the first place there is only light and the light is found within you so there is no light bulb.

Who am I to answer this question? There is no light bulb, or zen buddhists.

Yeah, you are right, 3 people: one to hold the light bulb, one to turn round the chair and one to turn on the light..But are they allowed to use electricity , or light bulbs?

I must meditate on this, unfortunately I have no bulb, there is a bulb and a candle...
The candle chooses to meditate, therefore I am the candle...

Specifically to answer your question, the answer is not too many as they use candles in the temple. And when they do not have them lighted, your question goes up in smoke...
