Zen Master Cohen deep inside at MBZC

(Peacefulness) Leonard Cohen (1934-2016) practiced Zen Buddhism for years at the Mt. Baldy Zen Center (MBZC) on the tallest, holiest (to local Native Americans) mountain in view of greater Los Angeles. His friend Zen Master Roshi, founder of the center, died in 2014 at the age of 107. These interview excerpts are from the documentary by Armelle Brusq (1996). See the full documentary (45 minutes).
