Epilogue:
The ROSHI is a “Zen master” in common parlance, coming from a Japanese term meaning “elder master” or “old teacher.” Its use varies widely among different Buddhist communities. In some traditions it is applied only to older masters, while in others it may be conferred on someone of any age, but it is nearly always a title of respect. In popular culture, the word has also been used less reverently (and often as part of a character’s name) in MANGA (Japanese graphic novels), cartoons, and video games. A similar term is SENSEI, roughly meaning “teacher,” though in the U.S. that word is most often associated with martial arts teachers.
