Here’s a light but welcome break from all the distressing but important news: Leonard Cohen, one of American Buddhism’s favorite sons, was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame last week. (Mr. Cohen is pictured to the right on the cover of an old issue of the Shambhala Sun along with his teacher Kyozan Joshu Sasaki, Roshi.) Below are some snippets from the ceremony.

As an added bonus to this story, Mr. Cohen has just announced plans for a 2008 World Tour–his first in fifteen years. Find out more at his official website.
