Kirk,
Even a Zen traditionalist wouldn't be too concerned about Ginsberg's
and Watts' Zen. People can experience Zen/zen whether they've heard of
it previously, or not, Indeed, it's possible to 'experience' Zen even
be those following an orthodox, theistic religion (Imagine their
Household Meetings!). So just because Watts and Ginsberg shagged
around, smoked, drank and taught/practiced other Eastern philosophies,
it doesn't follow that they can't Zen/zen (Yes, meant as a verb).
