Francis X. Clines, in a 1993 New York Times column on Sing Sing, the maximum-security prison in Ossining, N.Y., on Kobutsu Kevin Malone, a Buddhist priest who’d bring Zen meditation to prisoners: “Squat and merry-eyed with short gray hair, Mr. Malone seems more leprechaun than priest until he dons his long, deep blue Buddhist robe and enters the maximum-security prison. (He ascends to the black robe today when his abbot ordains him.) The background clang and clamor of men kept from freedom nibbles at the serenity of the zendo in a basement meeting room. Initially, he found mostly convict dabblers looking for a social outlet, more than a spiritual inlet, when Mr. Malone, a strictly nonfelonious outsider, took over direction of an informal Sing Sing meditation group 18 months ago. “A typical meeting consisted of 15 minutes of desultory meditation and the remainder of the two hours dedicated to jailhouse politics,” Mr. Malone recounts in a deep voice laced with amusement at life’s turnings. […] Of course, Zen is useless for most people, but there is that 1 percent who can handle it. It’s a method of becoming sane, I tell the inmates. There’s no beliefs involved. It’s a life practice and is probably the most effective way to bring about change on a fundamental level.” […] Prison officials have been skeptical, especially when Mr. Malone arrived with a traditional kesaku, a firm, slender paddle that, in ritual procedure, is used to relieve muscle tension with the delivery of a sharp blow. “They were reluctant but they finally allowed that in,” he says, smiling.”
