Anytime I hear of Zen, I automatically think of Phil Jackson who was referred as the " Zen Master" for his level of calmness as a NBA head coach. Many times while other coaches were exasperated while their team was down, whenever Phil Jackson's team was down he had this evident calm spirit and very rarely seemed to be anxious about anything while the game was being played. I think a great lesson for upper grades would be to compare the reading of San Francisco Zen and the actions to a few highlights of Phil Jackson and the Bulls or the Lakers game while the team was losing and perhaps needed a time out. Phil's mannerisms should be observed and compared to the article and how Zen is implemented into one's thought processes.
