RT Book T1 Philosophical meditations on Zen Buddhism T2 Cambridge studies in religious traditions A1 Wright, Dale Stuart 1948- LA English PP Cambridge PB Cambridge University Press YR 1998 UL https://www.ixtheo.de/Record/88336705X AB This book is the first to engage Zen Buddhism philosophically on crucial issues from a perspective that is informed by the traditions of western philosophy and religion. It focuses on one renowned Zen master, Huang Po, whose recorded sayings exemplify the spirit of the 'golden age' of Zen in medieval China, and on the transmission of these writings to the West. The author makes a bold attempt to articulate a post-romantic understanding of Zen applicable to contemporary world culture. While deeply sympathetic to the Zen tradition, he raises serious questions about the kinds of claims that can be made on its behalf.
