A Throw-Away Phrase in the bio-article on Roshi Philip Kapleau: 'Chapin Mill'. Where is it? What is it?[edit]
Chapin Mill? I hope it can be explained in the article.

Personal Life Details[edit]
I read a lot of Kapleau-related material in the 80's and seem to recall that, before getting involved with Zen Buddhism, he suffered from a gastric ulcer that was so bad he wondered how much longer he could withstand the pain. His health problem abated when he started practicing.
Also, I believe he married late in life. His wife was a pupil and Buddhist nun.
B0rez (talk) 05:34, 19 October 2009 (UTC)
- His wife, Delancy, was never a Buddhist nun. Writtenright (talk) 04:17, 10 February 2012 (UTC)
Removed text from intro[edit]
I removed the following line from the intro - interesting as it may be, it has nothing to do with the article's subject:
- These distinctions are primarily ones of form, since adepts in all schools of Zen aspire to complete enlightenment, known in Sanskrit as अनुत्तर सम्यक् सम्बॊधि (anuttara samyak sambodhi).
86.186.171.140 (talk) 15:38, 14 July 2010 (UTC)
- Did this person read that right? Aspiring to 'complete enlightenment' has 'nothing to do' with an article on a Zen teacher? Writtenright (talk) 04:20, 10 February 2012 (UTC)
Neutrality and citations needed[edit]
The page needs more neutrality and citations from independent sources. I included two books for references, links will lead you to pages. Please, find more sources, add citations and remove peacock terms.Spt51 (talk) 21:08, 12 August 2010 (UTC)
Not the first American Zen Center[edit]
The article states 'In 1966 he left Japan to create the Rochester Zen Center. In doing so, he became the first American to found and teach at a Zen training center.'
But how about Shunryu Suzuki's San Francisco Zen Center, founded in 1962? Americans did teach there, including Kapleau, and Richard Baker basically co-founded the SFZC.

THE POLISH AFFILIATE CENTER WAS ESTABLISHED BY ROSHI KAPLEAU, NOT BY D. GIFFORD[edit]
Footnote 6 says of Ven. Roshi Sunya Kjolhede: 'Teacher at the Windhorse Zen Community, near Asheville, NC. Teacher at the Polish affiliate center (established by D. Gifford) of the Rochester Zen Center.'
Yet on the page of the aforementioned Windhorse Zen Community, we read that Ven. Roshi Sunya Kjolhede 'serves as spiritual director of the Bodhidharma Zen Center, a Polish Zen community founded by Roshi Kapleau in 1975.'

It follows the Polish affiliate center was founded by Roshi Kapleau, not by D. Gifford, doesn't it? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.103.220.132 (talk) 22:35, 20 November 2017 (UTC)
