Author Description

Weaving together his own experiences with references to his voraciously wide reading, Zen teacher Ton Lathouwers illustrates his insights with texts drawn from a variety of literary and spiritual traditions in this series of talks from 1999. In his discourse, Lathouwers seeks to build a bridge between Eastern wisdom and Western literature, as well as between popular religion and philosophic thinking. In a sincere and open tone, he conveys to listeners and readers alike that everyone is capable of finding his or her own personal answer to the great mystery of existence.
