Zen: Merging of East and West
"It strikes new ground by presenting Zen practice in a thoroughly Western milieu...Weighty matters are dealt with so entertainingly that it is hard to put the book down"--John Blofeld"Taken either for itself or as a companion to Kapleau's classicThe Three Pillars of Zen, this is an excellent introduction."--Library Journal"Kapleau goes into many areas of Zen little explored in Western writings, areas that both perplex and titillate Western students--. His comments and expositions are incisive, humorous, and well illustrated with personal anecdotes and amusing stories."--Re-Vision"An important contribution to our understanding of Zen in the Western world, where it is now becoming a steadily growing spiritual force."--Lama Govinda, author ofFoundations of Tibetan MysticismandA Living Buddhism for the West
