I catch up with Curt, a long-time comrade from the Zen trenches. We discuss what it's like to be a Zen Master, what the responsibilities of being on the path mean vis-a-vis social action and politics, especially for those on the revolutionary Left, and whether Buddhism can accurately be described as a nonviolent religion.
