Interview: Richard Collins, New Orleans Zen Temple abbot
 

http://media2.fdncms.com/gambit/imag...86/collins.jpg In the lived-in rooms on the fourth floor of a Camp Street building, the New Orleans Zen Temple is very quiet ??? so quiet you can hear the bristles of a broom brushing the carpet as one of its attendees prepares the dojo (literally: the way place, or the place where you practice the way)for evening meditation practice. Outside, the bells of a nearby cathedral ring faintly; inside, people begin gathering and removing their shoes to prepare for a different sort of seeking.*
