AbstractThis book is a philosophical and comparative exposition of Zen. It brings out the values in Zen that are similar to
Western philosophy. It also discusses how Zen's perception of truth, scriptural language, and religious
communication resembles neo-orthodox Christianity. Zen's approach to education has roots in Confucianism. The
liberation which Zen Buddhists seek cannot be explained by a metaphysical system. Yet this book repudiates the
view that Zen is illogical or amoral. The inner logic of Zen is explored, and also the ways in which Zen Buddhism
is a highly moral practice.
