:I wouldn't say so exactly. It's more the issue of him muddying the waters, mixing his business/self-help/pop psychology with his authentic Zen bona fides. He is a Soto priest; being a priest does not make you "enlightened". In fact, as his generation especially demonstrates, it can lead to a lot of inflation and confusion. He said he was going to "turn in his robes", ie stop being a priest. I wish he would've followed through - but no, he was "begged" (he claims) not to do so (by one guy - failing to give any heed to the three dozen that asked him to follow through). What would Zen do without him? (More quickly recover and flourish, I'd say.)[[User:Tao2911|Tao2911]] ([[User talk:Tao2911#top|talk]]) 20:26, 24 May 2014 (UTC)
