One of his American students is James H. Austin, author of "Zen and the Brain". [http://www.ithaca.edu/news/release.php?id=2395] Austin writes of his teacher, "This remarkable person, Kobori-roshi, inspired me to begin the long path of Zen and stick to it. As a result, I have since continued to repair my ignorance about Zen and its psychophysiology during an ongoing process of adult reeducation." [Austin, 175]
