description: A Delta Book published by arrangement with Philosophical Library, Inc. [LCCN 5514253].Perhaps no branch of Eastern thought has so profoundly influenced contemporary Western culture as Zen Buddhism. Its most spectacular impact has been on Existentialism &amp;, in a poorly digested &amp; sadly misunderstood way, "beat" literature. But its more subtle presence has become progressively pervasive in Occidental philosophy &amp; religion; it may yet achieve the "meeting of East &amp; West". Studies in Zen is an important contribution to the interpretation of Zen Buddhism in the West.'Among the best contributions to the knowledge of living Buddhism that recent decades have produced'--C.G. Jung
