Title: Good early (for the west anyway) treatment of zen
Review: This was a very good attempt to explain Zen Buddhism in the face of the author's professed belief that Zen Buddhism cannot be explained and any attempt to do so is ridiculous and doomed to failure. Humphreys writes with the dignified and easy-to-read style of a well-educated Englishman of his day, and although a little bit of the `zenner-than-thou' tone sometimes sneaks into this book it is, on the whole, very well done.
