Upcoming Book Circle Discussion: A Christian Looks at Zen

We are glad to announce the subject of our next Book Circle discussion: "A Christian Looks at Zen," by Thomas Merton.

This essay was written as Merton's Introduction to The Golden Age of Zen, a book by John C. H. Wu. In previous Book Circle discussions, we have explored the friendship between Merton and Wu as it unfolded in letters across cultures and continents.

The next Book Circle meeting will be held on October 19, 2024 at 7 am PT / 8 am MT / 9 am CT / 10 am ET / 10 pm China Standard Time. For updates and the Zoom link, please sign up via the Book Circle interest form.
