I've never known any personally. Doesn't seem fair to form an opinion
of anyone only from their books.
The only people that have made any meaningful connection to my life
have been entirely ordinary folks who've hardly heard of Buddhism, much
less roshis. But they were good people, and I've not forgotten them.
I might add some of the cats I've known have had a hell of a lot more
dignity, honor, and love than many people. But that'll probably land me
in a pot of boiling oil. So be it.
Anyway, what's wrong with being a wooden plank? Wood is good.
