ONCE TIM TOLD ME the story of how one of his teacher Kobun Chino’s students slipped him some acid. Kobun was a very trusting guy. When he was handed an acid-soaked sugar cube and told, “Here, eat this. It’ll make you feel good,” Kobun swallowed it without a second thought. His comments afterward about the LSD experience? “It was stupid,” he said. Spoken like a true Zen master.
