摘要
What has Jerusalem to do with the Bodhi Tree? This study of the relationship between the Christian Bible and Zen Buddhism is informed by the insights of an author who has vast experience with both. Ruben Habito, a Zen roshi as well as a Catholic spiritual director, uses his insights from years of talks at Zen retreats to inform this spiritual gem, focusing on the ways the practices of Zen can enrich Christianity, and vice versa. A treasure for all seekers, Christian and otherwise.
