Suzuki and Erich Fromm).

Suzuki and with Shin'ichi Hisamatsu; and essays on the \"Thought of Nishitani Keiji\" and \"The Zen Roots of Masao Abe's Thought\". His discussion with Prof. Ken Kramer (San José State University) about \"self-emptying\" is a unique contribution to Buddhist thought and to Christian-Buddhist dialogue.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a companion volume to Dr. DeMartino's \u003cem\u003eHuman Nature and Zen\u003c\/em\u003e (ISBN 978-3-906000-17-6). \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRichard DeMartino (1922-2013), Zen practitioner and thinker, was a long-time student of D.T.
