The Groping Zen Master: If It Be His Will?
Sad to see major NYT account today of charges emerging, after many years of complaints, against famed Zen master "Roshi," now 105 years-old and best known as Leonard Cohen's former teacher up on Mt. Baldy in Los Angeles. (Leonard even lived at the center for several years and became a priest.) Within the Buddhist community this has been a hot topic since January as various women have spoken out. In the spirit of the Catholic Church, denials and cover-up from the man's supporters--although it must be said, claims have not been verified or heading to court at this point. (h/t Jon Wiener)
