N2  - It is with great joy that I offer a foreword to the compilation of Zen material by Ruben Habito. When Ruben Habito arrived in Japan in 1970, he almost immediately became involved in Zen. He was, as far as I know, the first Catholic to have received confirmation of the opening Zen experience (Kensho) under a Japanese Zen Master. Since then he has assiduously maintained his training under this true teacher, Yamada Koun Roshi of the Kamakura San-un Zendo. During his formative years as a Jesuit in Japan, Habito proved himself of high intellectual caliber by being admitted to the prestigious University of Tokyo, and acquitting himself honorably in its erudition. He successfully completed a master's degree and finished doctoral studies in Buddhist philosophy. --From the foreword
