Who is the leader of the Zen Buddhist monks?
There is no "pope" or "Dalai Lama" in Zen Buddhism. In monasteries, the term Rōshi (lit. "older teacher") is used as a respectful honorific to a significantly older Zen teacher considered to have matured in wisdom and to have attained a superior understanding and expression of the Buddhist teachings. Zen emphasizes the relation between teacher and student, and a direct transmission of the core of the teachings between the two.
Are there any books to follow the Zen noble path or Theravada Buddhism noble path for self study?
The MANUAL OF ZEN BUDDHISM. Daisetz Teitaro SuzukiI, D.LITT. Professor of Buddhist Philosophy in the Otani University, Kyoto. [1935] is a prime source for Zen instruction. It is not written in the cozy style of many Western self improvement books. One of the first things is that there is noPath to follow in Zen and attempts to find it are meaningless.
Are any sacred texts in Zen Buddhism?
Of all the Buddhist sects, Zen Buddhism has the strongest injunction against formalized "answers" to Buddhist understanding. As the koan states "If you meet the Buddha on the road - kill him!". Each person must avoid the experts and formal answers on their path to enlightenment. Enlighten meant often comes through satori, a burst of understanding. There are no sacred texts or holy men. The Sutras and modern works such as those of Daisetz Teitaro Suzuki, D.Litt., Professor of Buddhist Philosophy are seen only as one musing on the issues.
Are there any monasteries other than Catholics?
There are many monasteries other than Catholic ones. In the Christian religion, the Anglicans have monasteries, I know that there are Lutheran sisters, but I'm not sure about monasteries. Also, there is the ecumenical Taize community. In non-Christian religions, I know that the Buddhists have monasteries, the most famous are in Tibet, and the Hindu religion also has monasteries.

Do Zen Buddhist believe in Reincarnation?
Yes & No Taisen Deshimaru, Zen Master & the New Orleans Zen Temple said that Belief in Reincarnation is unimportant. Only Zazen is important. I don't think that Zen Buddhist spent much time investigating or thinking about Reincarnation. Most anyone can attend the New Orleans Zen Temple for a limited time or retreat. there website is www.nozen.org . . . Tibetan Buddhist are conditioned from birth that we have had a previous life and will reincarnate. Belief in Reincarnation has good evidence from the University of Virginia & the 40 years work of Dr. Ian Steveson.
Do Zen gardens play any role in Zen Buddhism?
There is sitting meditation. There is walking meditation. There is the Zen garden, and other Zen practice pursuits (archery, tea cerimony, calligraphy, painting, chanting...) Eventually, we have reverence for all of existence. On our way: There is sitting meditation. There is walking meditation. There is the Zen garden... The Zen garden is used to represent the simplicity and the harmony of life. Zen priests are also used by Zen priests to improve the concentration while by raking the garden.
