This is an interesting article by Dosho Mike Port about what he sees are the benefits and detriments the Western Baby Boomers have made to zen culture. He contrasts the more intensive, individual-focused 'traditional style' training which up until 20 or so years ago was the only training available with the more convenient and less demanding, community-oriented 'Boomer-style' programs which are more popular now. I've experienced both and do have a definite opinion on which I prefer...although I think the order in which they are experience might influence that. I'll hold my opinion until asked so you can read this and then for your own first.
