The Chinese sage abounds in wit and paradox and shattering insights into the true ground of being. Thomas Merton, no stranger to Asian thought, brings a vivid, modern idiom to the timeless wisdom of Tao.

In the Sixties, Merton invited a group of contemplative women -- cut off by inflexible rules from any analysis of important movements in the Church and the world -- to make a retreat with him at his abbey in Kentucky. What he and they said on such themes as "Zen, a Way of Living Life Directly," "Prophetic Choices," and "The Feminine Mystique," is the text of this book.

Upon the recommendation of a Scottish publisher, we are reprinting as a single volume this most critically acclaimed and popular of modern Camaldolese books. It is a guide to the hermit way of life, based on the teaching of Blessed Paul Giustiniani and featuring a memorable preface by Thomas Merton. Jean Leclerq, O.S.B. (1911-1993) is widely regarded as the foremost twentieth century scholar of Western monasticism, and this is one of his most impressive achievements. If you are only going to read one work of monastic spirituality in your lifetime, this could be your best choice.

Written during the last decade of Merton's life, these articles reflect his mature thought on monastic life in community and in solitude. Appealing to the monastic dimension in al of us, his reflections have meaning for those living outside as well as inside monastery walls, fellow travellers on the same journey he took, aware of the fragility and imperfections, as well as the great potential for growth and love, within each human person.

Merton shows us how to draw out the richness of worship from the psalter and to use it to achieve -the peace that comes from submission to God's will and from perfect confidence in him-

Christliche Kontemplation war eines der zentralen Anliegen Thomas Mertons, um das er sich in seiner persönlichen, oft schmerzvollen und radikalen Gottessuche zeitlebens bemüht hat. Ein erstes Buch über Kontemplation veröffentlichte er bereits 1949. Die jetzt vorliegende stark erweiterte Fassung beschreibt ausführlich verschiedene Wege und zeigt, wie der Mensch trotz Widrigkeiten in die Kontemplation finden kann. Die Übersetzung von Bernardin Schellenberger - selbst langjähriges Mitglied des Trappistenordens wie Thomas Merton - ermöglicht einen neuen Zugang zu einem der bedeutendsten...

The Eastern religious traditions, especially the varieties of Buddhism, were the last great passion in Thomas Merton's life. His participation in a monastic conference in Asia led to his premature, accidental death. He discoursed on equal terms with the Dalai Lama, and extracts from their interviews appear in this book.
