From the Publisher:
Thomas Merton's Fullest Exploration of Contemplation -- Western and Eastern |
Annotation:
Thomas Merton's last complete book evolved from a 1948 work called WHAT IS CONTEMPLATION? about the importance of contemplation. It was rewritten in 1959 and revised in 1968, shortly before his death. The later versions of the book incorporate Merton's explorations into Eastern philosophy, drawing parallels between Catholic prayer and Buddhist meditation.
