Description
The Way of Chuang Tzu by Thomas Merton A modern interpretation of the timeless wisdom of Taoism, this collection brings together Thomas Merton's own translations of the classic sayings of Chuang Tzu. A Chinese philosopher from the fourth and third centuries B.C., Chuang Tzu is renowned for his wit, paradoxes, and profound insights into the nature of reality. Merton, an expert in Asian thought, presents these ancient teachings in a vivid and accessible manner, shedding light on the unique vehicle that emerged from Taoism - Zen. This book offers a fresh perspective on the spiritual traditions of East Asia, inviting readers to explore the true ground of being. With its modern idiom and poetic language, this collection is an excellent introduction to the philosophy of Chuang Tzu for those new to the subject, as well as a thought-provoking read for those already familiar with Taoist teachings.
