Zen Spirit, Christian Spirit by Roshi Robert Kennedy

A new revised edition of the classic title on Zen and Christian living.

Zen Spirit, Christian Spirit is a study of the intersection between Zen Buddhism and Christianity. Robert Kennedy explores how Zen can help us to live deeper lives and how we can return from a study of Zen to a more profound understanding of Christian living and practice.

"What I looked for in Zen," says the author, "was not a new faith, but a new way of being Catholic that grew out of my own lived experience and would not be blown away by authority or by changing theological fashion." Kennedy is unique in being competent in both Catholic and Zen practice and who responds to people who are drawn to this form of prayer and life. This is a refreshingly simple but also most beautiful book.

Robert Kennedy is an American Jesuit priest and Zen Roshi (master). He holds a doctorate in Theology from the University of Ottawa, and another in psychology from Andover Newton Theological School in Boston. He continues his Zen practice in Los Angeles and with Glassman Roshi in New York. He founded Morning Star Zendo in Jersey City. He teaches in Ireland, UK, Ecuador, Mexico and in several Zen centers in the USA. He resides in New York City.
