"The moment of takeoff was ecstatic...joy. We left the ground I
with Christian mantras and a great sense of destiny, of being at
last on my true way after years of waiting and wondering..." With
these words, dated October 15. 1968, the late Father Thomas Merton
recorded the beginning of his fateful journey to the Orient. His
travels led him from Bangkok, through India to Ceylon, and back
again to Bangkok for his scheduled talk at a conference of Asian
monastic orders. There he unequivocally reaffirmed his Christian
vocation. His last journal entry was made on December 8, 1968, two
days before his untimely, accidental death. Amply illustrated with
photographs he himself took along the way and fully indexed, the
book also contains a glossary of Asian religious terms, a preface
by the Indian scholar Amiya Chakravarty, a foreword and postscript
by Brother Patrick Hart of the Abbey of Gethsemani, as well as
several appendices, among them the text of Merton's final address."
