With regard to publishing and many other things, Dr. Richard DeMartino (1922-2013)-a protagonist of the introduction of Zen Buddhism to the West-adhered to the old Roman motto: Non multa sed multum what counts is not quantity but quality. Instead of churning out reams of papers and books, he kept revising and fine-tuning seminal essays such as The Human Situation and Zen Buddhism, first published in Zen Buddhism and Psychoanalysis of 1960 (co-authored with D.T. Suzuki and Erich Fromm). The present volume contains DeMartinos ultimate version of that essay, chiseled for decades, along with an essay on Zen Communication whose final typescript was equally teeming with handwritten corrections and thoughtful emendations. Included are also essays about and conversations with some of the 20th centurys greatest Zen teachers and thinkers: a hitherto unpublished exchange with Daisetz T. Suzuki (D.T. Suzuki, Oriental Thought, and the West); accounts of DeMartinos first meetings with D.T. Suzuki and with Shinichi Hisamatsu; and essays on the Thought of Nishitani Keiji and The Zen Roots of Masao Abes Thought. His discussion with Prof. Ken Kramer (San José State University) about self-emptying is a unique contribution to Buddhist thought and to Christian-Buddhist dialogue.This is a companion volume to Dr. DeMartinos Human Nature and Zen (ISBN 978-3-906000-17-6). Richard DeMartino (1922-2013), Zen practitioner and thinker, was a long-time student of D.T. Suzuki, Shinichi Hisamatsu, Paul Tillich, and Reinhold Niebuhr. As senior associate professor of religion at Temple University (Philadelphia, PA.), he instructed and inspired hundreds of students as well as auditors from all walks of life.Book specifications:Collection: BuddhismDimensions: 216 x 140Author: Richard DemartinoCover type: PaperbackPublishing Year: 2022Publishing Month: 2Pages: 260Language: EnglishPublisher: UniversitymediaWeight: 331 g
