Robert Buswell, a Buddhist scholar who spent five years as a Zen
monk in Korea, draws on personal experience in this insightful
account of day-to-day Zen monastic practice. 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.
