«El Zen y los pájaros del deseo» is the philosophical essay by Thomas Merton, published by RBA Coleccionables in hardback (184 pages, in Spanish).
In this essay, Thomas Merton approaches Zen Buddhism from the Christian tradition, combining philosophy, theology and spirituality. The work reflects on desire, silence and emptiness, and proposes a dialogue between two paths of contemplation: the Zen and the Christian.
Originally published in English as «Zen and the Birds of Appetite» in 1968, the Spanish edition was published in 2003.
It will appeal to readers of philosophy, spirituality and theology, particularly those wishing to explore the encounter between Zen and Christian mysticism.
Thomas Merton, religious name M. Louis, was an American Trappist monk, theologian, mystic, poet, and social activist. He was a professed member of the Abbey of Our Lady of Gethsemani, near Bardstown, Kentucky, living there from 1941 to his death.
