Buddhism Zen
Thats pretty interesting. I have never seen such a modern looking monastery or monks who actually participate in day to day things like fixing cars. I think its great that they are trying to upgrade their image to be more appealing to this generation. But people like Phil Jackson, coach of the LA Lakers help put Zen Buddhism into the spot light. Coach Jackson has been able to bring Zen to basketball of all things.
