What he finds is a man with a unique ability to serve up bleak but heartfelt individual truth. He was officially ordained a Buddhist monk and given the name of Jikan (Silent One). His most recent album, The Future, is his eleventh. Author David Sheppard explores Cohen's fifty year odyssey through Judaic mythology, drugs, alcohol, sex, and Buddhism. The consort of Janis Joplin and Rebecca De Mornay and one-time collaborator of Phil Spector, Leonard Cohen has for the last five years been a full-time resident of the Mount Baldy Zen Center near Los Angeles where he submitted to the rigors of zazen and communal living
