Bill,
Of course, in the relatively more modern period (contemporary with us), many
Zen/Ch'an teachers write books.
It's a great source of income -- if the book SELLS -- for the teacher and/or
their sangha.
My own late teacher, the monk Sheng Yen, wrote many books.
Some books have also been written about him.
