| Quotation | Yesterday, Father [William] Johnston, a Jesuit from Sophia University, Tokyo, was here, talking of Zen, Father Dumoulin, Father Enomiya Lasalle, etc. He brought a new book on Zen with a lot of rich new material in it ([Philip] Kapleau's Three Pillars of Zen). I am slowly moving the mountain of books from the novice master's room to the library (novices do the carrying). |
