This text provides a comparative investigation of the affinities
and differences of two of the most dynamic currents in World
Buddhism: Zen Buddhism and the Thai Forest Movement. Defying
differences in denomination, culture, and historical epochs, these
schools revived an unfettered quest for enlightenment and proceeded
to independently forge like practices and doctrines. The author
examines the teaching gambits and tactics, the methods of practice,
the place and story line of teacher biography, and the nature and
role of the awakening experience, revealing similar forms deriving
from an uncompromising pursuit of awaking, the insistence on
self-cultivation, and the preeminent role of the charismatic
master. Offering a pertinent review of their encounters with
modernism, the book provides a new coherence to these seemingly
disparate movements, opening up new avenues for scholars and
possibilities for practitioners.
