Description: The Psalms, which Thomas Merton called "one of the most valid forms of prayer for men of all time," are the most significant and influential collection of religious poems ever written, summing up the theology of the Old Testament and serving as daily nourishment for the devout. Bread in the Wilderness sets forth Merton's belief that "the Psalms acquire, for those who know how to enter into them, a surprising depth, a marvelous and inexhaustible actuality. They are bread, miraculously provided by Christ, to feed those who have followed Him into the wilderness." Merton's goal in this moving book is to help the reader enter into the Psalms: "The secret is placed in the hands of each Christian. It only needs to be discovered and fulfilled in our own lives." The new ND Classic edition of Bread in the Wilderness faithfully reproduces the beautiful, large-format original 1953 New Directions books, created by the celebrated designer Alvin Lustig and lavishly illustrated throughout with photographs of a remarkable medieval crucifix at Perpignan, France.

Description: The great Chinese Zen masters of the 7th through 10th centuries laid the foundation for all subsequent developments within Zen Buddhism. Flowering forth magnificently during these centuries, the profound teachings of these Masters, which is given voice in the pages of this book, may be equaled by some of their spiritual descendants but it has never been surpassed. All readers seeking the spring of Zen will find in these pages the refreshing words--sometimes enigmatic and profound, sometimes practical and humorous--of the earliest exponents of the tradition.

This classic work has been compared to the writings of D. T. Suzuki in importance, and it carries the same imprint of authenticity. Additionally, however, the author--whose correspondence with Suzuki is included in the appendix of the book--reinforces several fascinating parallels between Zen and Christian mysticism by his inclusion of a masterful introduction by Thomas Merton, whose writings on Zen and Christianity are well known. All in all, The Golden Age of Zen, which traces the origins of Zen in Taoism and reflects the adamantine vision of the first T'ang masters, is a perfectly flowing study of the early history of the Zen tradition, and is destined to be an important source book on Zen for generations to come.

This collection highlights the main themes of Merton's contemplative journey: the search for freedom; prayer of the heart; solitude and silence; love of nature; community life; and work, among others.
