1. I have read about some scandals involving Zen Masters. How can an enlightened Zen Master do bad things?
2. Are Buddhists pacifists?
3. How long and how often should I practice sitting meditation?
   ……………………………………..

In this podcast we consider the questions above discussing the guru complex or teacher/student relationship East and West; differing levels of enlightenment; the history of violence in Buddhism, whether pacifism can always be the preferred option?; building up a sitting meditation practice in stages.
