Reviews for Light of Zen in the West: Incorporating ´The Supreme Doctrine´ and ´The Realization of the Self´
"...an excellent insight into Benoit's work on the human being and the nature of our suffering."
The Middle Way, May 2005. "This is a book that should be read by everyone who aspires to know who he is and what he can do to acquire such self-knowledge..."
From the Foreword to the first English edition by Aldous Huxley. ""There were giants in the earth in those days." This line from Genesis comes to mind as I look again, after a gap of some years, at the writings of Hubert Benoit. Like Karlfried Graf von Durckheim (author of Daily Life as Spiritual Exercise), who was of virtually the same generation, Benoit brought a formidable mind and a seeker's firm dedication to the exploration of Zen. They were deciphering then what remains for us to continue deciphering: teachings Asian in origin but native to our minds and hearts."
Roger Lipsey, author of The Spiritual in Twentieth-Century Art.
