I believe that most of the true zen masters are not of the fancy kind
of sort. 

It doesn't have to do anything with decline in zen. Rather less intense 
practice of zazen (and understanding) will have that effect.

 I remember reading somewhere about some American roshi in what used
 to be Shunryu Suzuki's temple who was caught up in some scandals. I
 was wondering if there are any new movements going on in Zen, or is
 it just slowly dying on the vine?
 
 I recall Brad Warner was some kind of touring rock-star Zen monk, but 
 then that was a few years ago too. Is there anything new or popular 
 going on with Zen?

Diablo-Drakul,

 

Zen is the quintessential WYSISYG.  There is nothing new in zen - in fact
there is nothing in zen at all.

 

If you're looking for NEW or POPULAR, try buying an iPhone.

 

.Bill!
