The Supreme Koan: Confessions of a Journey Inward; with Two Buddhist-Christian Miracle Plays by Frederick Franck

Frederick Franck is a bridge-builder whose marvelous combination of art and spirituality points to a new way of being. In this paperback, the writer and transreligious visionary presents his confessions on a journey inward; two Buddhist-Christian miracle plays; and reflections on faith, belief, and nihilism. Franck traces his early fascination with Christianity and the man on the cross, who for him was 'an irresistible Presence.' But later in his life, the author welcomed all religions and especially Zen Buddhism which encouraged him to give 'fearless attention to what is.' Franck's two plays are contemporary versions of medieval Christian dramas: attempts to ponder the puzzles of suffering, death, and the meaning of life. The author has great respect for mystery — both of God and of the human adventure. This 1982 Crossroad Pub Co Paperback is in Fair condition.
