Title: The Lineage Of Abuse
Review: I finally got around to reading this sad pitiful tale. The "problem" with all this zen stuff, the way it is presented inMichael Downing's book, is that there's never any mention of people truly waking up. That's because in this particular zen school, practice and realization are the same thing, only no one knows it. As a zen priest, partially engaged in this lineage, I know many of the players Downing writes about. And they are a very sad bunch - no energy, no joy, no peace, no nothin'. I knew this 30 years ago when I tried to practice at the place...At least another book puts the whole thing in some perspective.
