WATTS, Alan W. Le Bouddhisme Zen.

(Paris): Petite Bibliotheque Payot, 1969.  Second edition.  Softcover.  18cm by 11cm.  245 pages. Includes La philosophie du Tao — Les origines du bouddhisme — Le bouddhisme mahayana — Origines et developpement du bouddhisme zen — Principes et pratique — Le zen dans l’art.  The volume is translated by Pierre Berlot.  Originally published as The Way of Zen, a seminal work introducing Western readers to the history, philosophy and practice of Zen Buddhism. Watts presents Zen not purely as a religious system, but as a radical way of seeing that dissolves conventional dualities of subject and object, intention and effort.  It remains today, a key introduction to Zen.  A very good copy in wrappers.
