The Supreme Doctrine: Psychological Studies in Zen Thought by Hubert Benoit
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 2.MB
Overview: In its Eastern aspects—Chinese, Hindu, and Japanese—Zen Buddhism has proved a puzzle, although a stimulating one, to the Western mind. Himself a Westerner, Dr. Benoit has approached it through an occidental manner of thinking. "For the first time, Dr. Benoit presents the traditional doctrine of Zen Buddhism in a language that is understandable to the Western world," says one of his Indian admirers, Swami Siddheswarananda.
The author does not advocate a "conversion" to Eastern religion and philosophy. Rather, he would have Western psychological thinking and reasoning meet with oriental wisdom on an intellectual plane, in order to make it participate in the oriental understanding of the state of man in general. "I do not need to burn the Gospels in order to read Hui-neng," says Dr. Benoit.
