It's absolutely incredible. That place is nothing more than a cult.eidolon58https://www.blogger.com/profile/06363468403752581527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904219782540965444.post-5071311741591530142015-11-09T18:38:44.519-05:002015-11-09T18:38:44.519-05:00I just saw Shimano's letter today, Nov. 9th, a...I just saw Shimano's letter today, Nov. 9th, and went searching for news of the progress of the law suit. I found none. I don't understand why this litigation is taking so long, the case is very simple. This letter from the Zen Studies Society strikes me as preposterously ridiculous, the idea that they would consider taking back this shyster and likely sociopath. It *is* "tiring" to consider, but the news about Eido has been out there in spades for so long that anyone stupid enough to practice with him at this late date fully deserves what they will get. He is patently conniving to get back to his clubhouse and I'm betting that Ms. Chayat needs him back, the promise of his cache' to keep the business float, something like that. It doesn't matter. His little cult is about finished, no matter what happens. His Zen is unimportant, as far as I'm concerned. The true dharma is ongoing in this country and can be found by those who wish to study it. Eido Shimano is just a sad old man, one who, through his own actions, ruined what could have been a noble place in the history of religion in the US, and the establishment of Zen in the West.eidolon58https://www.blogger.com/profile/06363468403752581527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904219782540965444.post-5481526446115716442015-11-07T01:07:15.884-05:002015-11-07T01:07:15.884-05:00You're spot on about the fact that now is a co...You're spot on about the fact that now is a convenient time for him. Things have been forgotten, victims getting older and/or unwilling to dredge everything up again, the new people clueless. It's a pattern he's followed for decades: just keep going and eventually new people will join despite everything.Christophernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904219782540965444.post-21200061672282650972015-11-05T11:50:27.311-05:002015-11-05T11:50:27.311-05:00Charlie -- Remember the Christians ... it's no...Charlie -- Remember the Christians ... it's not "money" that is the root of all evil, it's "the love of money."
