Within the context of a careful review of the psychology of
religion and prior non-Lacanian literature on the subject, Raul
Moncayo builds a bridge between Lacanian psychoanalysis and Zen
Buddhism that steers clear of reducing one to the other or creating
a simplistic synthesis between the two. Instead, by making a
purposeful "One-mistake" of "unknown knowing", this book remains
consistent with the analytic unconscious and continues in the
splendid tradition of Bodhidharma who did not know "Who" he was and
told Emperor Wu that there was no merit in building temples for
Buddhism. Both traditions converge on the teaching that "true
subject is no ego", or on the realisation that a new subject
requires the symbolic death or deconstruction of imaginary
ego-identifications. Although Lacanian psychoanalysis is known for
its focus on language and Zen is considered a form of transmission
outside the scriptures, Zen is not without words while Lacanian
psychoanalysis stresses the senseless letter of the Real or of a
jouissance written on and with the body.
