Summary

"Zen Buddhism is the most concrete, yet most elusive of disciplines. It mocks intellectual understanding, yet has influenced some of the world's greatest thinkers. It makes a fool of reason, yet deals in hard practicality. In one of the clearest, most comprehensive books ever written on Zen, oriental scholar Robert Linssen presents a philosophic and historic view. He guides the reader through Taoism, Confucianism, Amidism, Buddhism--the I Ching, satori, cosmic mind--the works of Lao Tzu, Alan Watts, D. T. Suzuki, Teilhard de Chardin. He shows how Zen affects painting, poetry, intellectual endeavor and everyday life. Superbly written and beautifully illustrated, this book opens a door to an exciting world of enlightenment and self-transformation."-Publisher.
