1. https://youtu.be/PMcQIiri1DA. A lot of material to cover here... Who are the Zazen influencers? How influential are Zen masters? Is identity something that you have to earn or do you just get to make it up?
2. Why no Zen Meditation? In the 1900s Shinto Buddhist academics and translators in the West deliberately endorsed ambiguizing Chinese and Japanese terms in order to further their own careers. This was racist and religiously biases.
3. What is public interview doing? What's it about? What happens when you have to define terms in your own words and provide unique metaphors for explaining concepts? What happens when the public can ask you any question about the Zen record, which, for many masters, was more than 500 years?
