Synopsis

Part of a series introducing the wisdom of the East to Western readers, this work offers an exposition of Zen, which although historically an aspect of Buddhism, is itself so vital and elusive (aiming to leave the mind like an open window) that it escapes definition. "The Wisdom of the East" series first appeared earlier this century and spans the Asian continent from Japan to Arabia, carrying the philosophy, religion and poetry of Buddha, Confucius, Lao Tzu, Muhammad and other great spiritual leaders.
