| Description | Zen schools of Japanese Buddhism are probably the ones that have captured the attention of Western audience the most. In the modern era, everybody knows of Zen gardens and Zen calligraphy or poetry, some even know of Zen design and Zen leadership or archery. The aim of this lecture is to introduce Zen and its journey through space and time: the journey it undertook from Japan to the West, from the past until the present. My intention is to offer a portrayal of Zen from medieval times into the present era in both Japan, the country of its origins, and in the Western world, notably America and Europe. |
