Steve, Very interesting reading, though I did not go to all details. I see that Richard Baker and Shimano are two sexual heros. Kapleau and Shunryu Suzuki seem to be spared of that title. If I am wrong, please correct it. Of course, sex misconduct is one conspicuous quality. In this case, zen pales against Tantric/Tibetan Buddhism, as the latter has a famous sex ritual, which converts the impure into the pure by way of 'celibate sex'. What a wonderful world. I can't wait to see zen followers converting to Tantrism in large numbers, setting Chogyam Trungpa and Sogyal Rimpoche as examplary models. Anthony
