In discussing the activities of the postulants, the meditation monks, the teachers and administrators, and the support monks of the monastery of Songgwang-sa, Buswell reveals a religious tradition that differs radically from the stereotype prevalent in the West. The author's treatment lucidly relates contemporary Zen practice to the historical development of the tradition and to Korean history more generally, and his portrayal of the life of modern Zen monks in Korea provides an innovative and provocative look at Zen from the inside.ReligionBuddhismGeneralBuddhismKoreaElectronic books.ReligionBuddhismGeneral.Buddhism294.3/657/095195Buswell Robert E.Jr.,1953-1073980Rosaldo Renatoctbhttps://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctbMdBmJHUPMdBmJHUPBOOK996248328903316The Zen Monastic Experience2570649UNISA
