Description and Table of Contents
Description
A dynamic presentation of the story of Zen, this book chronicles Zen's development from the original enlightenment experience of the Buddha to its expression in the 20th century. The authors begin with the Indian roots of Zen and how it developed as Buddhism itself flourished in India, China, Tibet, and other parts of Asia. They show how Zen was refined in Korea and Japan and then moved West in the 20th Century. This "Western" Zen has now firmly taken hold in America and elsewhere and continues to evolve. The authors show how Zen today is reflected in all aspects of daily life, from the arts to environmental concerns to psychotherapy.
