Zen Encounters

(By Richard DeMartino, 2022)

Detail of the Book Cover

This is our second book by the most important Western Zen philosopher of the 20th century, Dr. Richard DeMartino.

His seminal Essay "The Human Situation and Zen Buddhism," first published in the classic Zen Buddhism and Psychotherapy (Richard DeMartino, D. T. Suzuki, and Erich Fromm, 1960), is presented here in its much revised final version.

In addition to DeMartino's Essay "Zen Communication," this volume contains accounts of meetings and conversations with some of the most influential modern Zen teachers and philosophers: D.T. Suzuki, Shin'ichi Hisamatsu, Keiji Nishitani, and Masao Abe.

This volume accompanies DeMartino's Human Nature and Zen, published in 2021.
