Customer Reviews

Great interreligious dialogue

It is a beautifully written work which points to ways in which Buddhism can add flavor to Christian life. Kennedy uses a fine selection of both Eastern and Western literary work to illustrate his points. It is an excellent read for anyone curious about the Buddhist tradition. Kennedy is a Jesuit and also a Zen master and therefore is very knowledgable about both ways of life and how they can complement each other. Highly recommended!!

Zen Spirit, Christian Spirit

Well written. Clear account of Zen and Christianity. If you're a contemplative soul, this is a must read. The author shares keen insight into the place of Zen in Christian life.

Not for the Zen novice

This book is very heavy in Zen philosophy... if you're new to Zen (aka. less than a few books) don't start with this book... start with William Johnston's book "Christian Zen", it's a MUCH simpler read...
