Synopsis:
This excellent work investigates the relationship between Trappist monk Thomas Merton and his Asian adventures, specifically the relevance of his meeting with Chatrul Rinpoche of the Nyingma Tradition. This work also reveals the Buddhist attitude towards those of other faiths who have attained some higher realization. It seems, for Buddhists, anyone from any tradition may attain to a great awakening, even a Roman Catholic monk. To learn more, please visit: opensourcebuddhism.org
