Review
"Nancy Wilson Ross has performed a valuable service in making available to us the insights and reflections of those who have understood Zen.... Our education has trained us to be at home in the world o] notions; it is time that we discovered how to be equally at home in The World Of Zen."
Aldous Huxley
"This it a book we have been waiting for -- one that would gather into a single comprehensive volume the main features of an Eastern philosophy that it becoming a creative force in the Western world. Zen it a way of life, of universal relevance, and this volume, which makes it so accessible, it likely to have a wide influence on our culture. It is a book to live with."
Sir Herbert Read

great collage,
This review is from: The World of Zen: An East-West Anthology (Paperback)
This unassuming book is a great collage of different kinds of writing that try to relate Zen to the world. The varied expressions present a subtle puzzle to the reader: find the perspective underlying them all.

A Neat Anthology Of Zen Essays & Writings From Both East & West,

This review is from: The World of Zen: An East-West Anthology (Paperback)
Mrs. Ross has done a great job compiling a number of essays, stories, and poetic selections in this anthology which covers writers and Zen practitioners from both the Orient and Occident. From essays on Zen's relation to Western science & psychotherapy to poetry & art inspired by Zen culture, this is a very concise and realistic view of Zen Buddhism. Highly recommended for anyone interested in learning more about the Zen tradition.
