About this listen

Zen emptiness, Franciscan fullness.

In Zen Mind, Franciscan Joy, Dr. Edward Shirley explores the spiritual spectrum upon which Zen Buddhism and Franciscan spirituality reside.

Written in a style that balances knowledge, wit, and inspiration, Zen Mind, Franciscan Joy provides background information on the lives of the Buddha and Jesus of Nazareth. Dr. Shirley discusses the concepts of Zen impermanence, insight, and meditation and Christian trinity, incarnation, and creation. He also examines the interplay of Zen and Franciscan “emptiness” with Christian “fullness.”

Dr. Shirley establishes a connection between deep theological and philosophical ideas and immediate human experience. He concludes with practical suggestions for developing a “Zen Franciscanism.”
