People come into this forum and often do not realize that the majority of Japanese Buddhists in the West are affiliated either directly or organizationally with sex predator teachers: /r/zen/wiki/sexpredators.
While Japanese Buddhism considers it's doctrine holy, and thus any sex predator can teach it without ruining it, Zen does not share that view:
Bodhidharma: The highest holy truth is emptiness, with nothing holy therein.
Huangbo: There is no unalterable dharma.
Wumen: To follow the compass and keep to the rule is to tie oneself without a rope.
.
Welcome! ewk comment: There is no "transferable wisdom" in Zen.
In Zen, if you follow a sex predator, that doesn't end up anywhere but lying to people.
Sorry Japanese Buddhists, you'll have to start over.
