The Joshu Sasaki sex scandal has made both the New York Times and the Los Angeles Times
thus making it officially news, as opposed to just the stuff that gets
bantered about on Buddhist blogs. One of the reasons things like this
have been covered up in the past is...that there is little information
available to the general public about what Buddhists believe and
practice.... [and] sex sells.
Review (wildmind.org) |
The three-day intensive retreat in the snow-covered heights of the Angeles National Forest will focus on zazen ("sitting"), shikantaza ("just sitting"), and deep silence. There will be morning chanting services, work periods, and yoga led by Yogini Nina Snow.
Free time will be permitted for hiking. The daily routine will be punctuated by lectures, Q&A sessions, and interview(s (dokusan) with Ven. Brad, who is the author of Sex Sin and Zen, Hardcore Zen, Sit Down and Shut Up (Punk Rock Commentaries on Buddha, God, Truth, Sex, Death, and Dogen's Treasury of the Right Dharma Eye), and of course Zen Wrapped in Karma Dipped in Chocolate.
