The
poet Philip Whalen became a Dharma heir of Richard Baker. Helen Tworkov
reported that his first intensive sitting at the San Francisco Zen Center’s
practice center at Tassajara reminded him of being back in the army. “It took
me several training periods to see that they weren’t trying to kill you. All
you had to do was follow the schedule and you wouldn’t have to argue with
anybody, not even yourself.”
[Philip
Whalen – The Third Step East: 88-91; 81, 82, 83, 85, 92]
