Since arriving in Los Angeles from Japan in 1962, the Buddhist teacher Joshu Sasaki, who is 105 years old, has taught thousands of Americans at his two Zen centers in the area and one in New Mexico. He has influenced thousands more enlightenment seekers through a chain of some 30 affiliated Zen centers from the Puget Sound to Princeton to Berlin. And he is known as a Buddhist teacher of Leonard Cohen, the poet and songwriter.

Mr. Sasaki has also, according to an investigation by an independent council of Buddhist leaders, released in January, groped and sexually harassed female students for decades, taking advantage of their loyalty to a famously charismatic roshi, or master.

Yup.

that picture at the top of that article shows a zen master at 99 years old? (looking pretty good, there buddy!)
and he's still got a roiling libido?
and he can convince women that the answer to a zen koan is 'Tits or GTFO'?!

i reserve the right to not be SRS regarding ain't it awful news blurbs that are off the wall.
if i'm squicking you out because i'm being flip about something that personally affected you, i apologize.
if you take it to mean that i am, in actuality, a horrible person that supports the exploitation of anyone, then i've got something to think about, i guess.

Maybe you can go join the Facebook Discordians and LOL at some catholic priests molesting choirboys. It's so edgy.

Fuck off.

[Elder Iptuous]

Fuck off.
