  Soto - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
With 14,700 temples and nearly 7 million adherents (in 1989) Soto is the largest Zen sect in Japan, vastly surpassing Rinzai and Obaku.
Soto is practiced both in Japan and in the West, and stresses shikantaza, the meditation as a means of completely eliminating the mind and body as a conscious entity; enlightenment realized at the arrival of what can be considered 'pure existence'.
The characteristics of Soto as a distinct style of Zen go back to Shih-t'ou Hsi-ch'ien (J. Sekito Kisen, 700-790) who led an important practice center in the mountains of Hunan province in China.

 Hernando de Soto's mistakes. By John Gravois
Author of The Mystery of Capital and The Other Path, armchair consultant to numerous heads of state, and white knight for the cause of property formalization—Hernando de Soto is practically the patron saint of the global elite.
De Soto calls all this informally held property "dead capital," because it can't be leveraged to produce growth—it can't be mortgaged, because it lacks a proper title to guarantee it as collateral.
On the level of gee-whiz metaphors and moving rhetoric, de Soto deserves a lot of credit: He's brought an unprecedented degree of attention and funding to the vital and fascinating issue of squatters and informal economies.

 J. Bishop Grewell on Hernando de Soto on National Review Online
De Soto has joined a growing number of academics who are ushering in an unexpected renaissance for property rights after centuries of disrepute as the bane of those influenced by the Rousseaus and Marxes of the world.
From that experience, de Soto decided that if he was going to get his hands dirty, it was going to be in the streets where dirty hands lifted the underprivileged, not in the halls of capital buildings where dirty hands held them down.
De Soto still brings his message to world leaders, but no longer to elicit their support so much as to ensure they will not quash the silent, nonviolent revolution which he is fomenting.
