David, I honour your termites. I agree that companionship somehow makes a difference to the apparently solitary experience of meditation. I practised for a long time exclusively on my own. I sometimes had the discipline to sit, but not every day. What finding a community brought me was motivation rather than discipline: seeing the benefits of the practice in older students, recognizing there were young people out there doing the same weird practice as me, and having others to compare notes with.

Author(s)“A Course on Koans” is the delusion-riddled work of Chris Kufu (“Wind in the Void”) Wilson, who began practicing Zen in 1967. He regards Taizan Maezumi, Robert Aitken, and David Weinstein as his root teachers. Each of them pecked at his shell until he “completed” the never-ending koan curriculum of the Harada-Yasutani lineage. Get posts as they are published:
