	Zen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

	The Zen Teacher As Midwife
		In presenting oneself to a particular teacher in Zen, it is understood that the disciple will take this teacher's word to be authoritative in matters relating to Zen practice and will not turn to other teachers to seek help on the same matters while one remains in this covenant.
		A true teacher does not make an issue of a disciple's departure and, in fact, wishing only the practitioner's greatest good, is ready to help the latter in finding another teacher who may be of better help.
		Zen spirituality can be described simply as ³the art of living in attunement with the Breath, and it is the Breath itself that will be the most reliable guide in the entire journey.

		Zen communities tend to take their cues from the top down, so if the Teacher is living an unhealthy lifestyle, others often feel it is alright to do so.
		Is the Teacher only self taught, or did he or she spend only a short period of time as a student before declaring themself a "master?" Both of these situations are a sure sign of danger.
		Traditionally in Japanese Zen, it was of paramount importance that a Teacher be sanctioned 100% by their previous Teacher in order to teach, but in the West especially, we have often seen sanctioned Teachers who have engaged in all types of unhealthy and abusive behaviors.

		The aspect of Zen that appeals to most people is its emphasis on zazen and the experience of meditating in a zendo, which we'll investigate in chapters 2 and 3.
		Zen Buddhism emphasizes a strong, ongoing relationship between a student and a teacher.
