Do you have a question you'd like answered by a zen master? Send it in, and Roshi might just answer. This time someone ask about practice and loneliness

  • @MayanStarlight Yes, it's a very strange place, and the cult atmosphere totally turned me off when I briefly checked it out years back. In addition, the way Wilber surrounds himself with controversial teachers - Genpo Roshi, David Deida, Andrew Cohen - who have been caught in or accused of ethical violations and his silence on these matters is bizarre. I stay away from Integral and its people altogether.

  • @squamish4244 After further research, I've noticed the entire Integral Life Empire is filled with childish, irresponsible, and unethical cultish behaviors. Corporate greed seems to be the root and shadow of Wilber's world.

  • @MayanStarlight Actually, it was three students. And his behavior since then has been childish and irresponsible. Just read his Wikipedia entry.

  • Do I need to tell you my sins today for you to hear my truth today?

  • He was cheating on his wife with a student for FIVE years?! Holy Buddha! 5 YEARS!!! That's a long time to go on living a double life full of lies and deceit. Looks like Genpo Marzel is a master of multiple personalities and living proof that "Big Mind" is a "Big Con".

  • @BEGOODTOYOURDOG1 never read walden huh?

  • Foolish, foolish, foolish. You never tell a human being they are alone (not just like everybody else... come on, this is religion 101)

  • Thanks for this :-)

  • Strange that while this guy was talking about loneliness and longing, he was cheating on his wife with a student - for the past five years! He admitted to the affair and disrobed several months ago. He is no longer a Roshi.

  • Also, I am never alone, because I have my singing potatoes to keep me company.
