5.0 out of 5 stars great collage
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Neat Anthology Of Zen Essays & Writings From Both East & West, December 30, 2008
By 
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.
