PHILOSOPHY
The Way of Chung Tzu
Thomas Merton
Working from existing translations, Father Merton has
composed a series of personal versions from his favorites
among the classic sayings of Chuang Tzu, the most spirit­
ual of the Chinese philosophers.
Chuang Tzu, who wrote in the fourth and third centuries
B.C., is the chief authentic historical spokesman for Taoism
and its founder Lao Tzu (a legendary character known
largely through Chuang Tzu's writings). Indeed it was
because of Chuang Tzu and the other Taoist sages that In­
dian Buddhism was transformed, in China, into the unique
vehicle we now call by its Japanese name-Zen.
The Chinese sage abounds in wit, paradox, satire, and shat­
tering insight into the true ground of being. Father Merton,
no stranger to Asian thought, brings a vivid, modern idiom
to the timeless wisdom of Tao. This re-creation of an an­
cient sage by a contemporary poet is presented wih an
introduction on the meaning of Taoism for the West today.
Illustrated with early Chinese drawings.
"Written in a pleasing, readable and poetic style ... it is useful
and delightful. ... "-Choice
"A most admirable introduction to this less known but most
important source-book of Taoism.''
-Alan Watts, New York Times Book Review
