"With Bantetsugu Roshi, a disciple of Harada Roshi, I attended winter-long retreats at his temple in the harsh environment of northern Japan. He was particularly scathing about my learning and studying at university. When I left him, he told me to go and teach in America. I complained that I did not know English. He said, 'Do you think Zen is taught with words? Why worry about words?'"
