Aside from your teacher, which Zen masters do you look to most for inspiration?
I often look to Bodhidharma, Rinzai Gigen, and Dogen Zenji.

Re: What do you use to protect your computer?
I use Comodo firewall and antivirus. Comodo's notices are a little annoying, but overall, it's a good program. AVG might be a better option. If I remember correctly, it has a free firewall and virus scanner also.

Re: Help stop burlesque classes opening next to Buddhist Centre
As long as they're not doing the pole dancing inside of the Buddhist Centre, I don't think they should worry.

The Beginners Guide to Zen Buddhism?
Have any of you read The Beginner's Guide to Zen Buddhism by Jean Smith?
From the looks of the reviews, and table of contents, it looks promising.
Or, perhaps, there is a better intro to Zen?
