I found [this glossary page](https://global.sotozen-net.or.jp/eng/library/glossary/index.html) by sotozen-net. You might find it helpful.

Here's the [Zen Buddhism WWW Virtual Library](http://www.ciolek.com/WWWVL-Zen.html) which has some collection of Zen writings.

If you want to go beyond Zen, there's the [AccessToInsight index by subject](https://www.accesstoinsight.org/index-subject.html).
