Description

Writers and thinkers such as Thomas Merton, Jack Kerouac, Raymond Smullyan, Gary Snyder, Alan Watts, Scott P. Bradley and Allen Ginsberg have been influenced by Zen and Taoism. We explore the effects Eastern Religions have had on western culture and writers, as well as their role on our life experiences. Roman talks about Chinese Taoist poets such as Du Fu, Su Tungpo, Li Po and Wang Wei. We also reference books by Seung Sahn, Natalie Goldberg and Shunyru Suzuki Roshi.
