Christian Research Journal, 1990:win./spr.:p.20,
by Stephen H. Short. Stephen H. Short spent several
years living in a Zen Buddhist monastery. This account
of his gradual disillusionment with Zen serves several
purposes: it provides a basic introduction to Zen;
it offers insight into the inner life of a Zen monastery
and the personal dimensions of Zen practice; it points
out several key weaknesses in Zen as the author recalls
his growing doubts.
