Abstract
Editor's Note: Since we began the News and Notes section of our journal, there have been yearly reports on the monastic encounters between Buddhism and Christianity. While these reports have outlined the events that have taken place in this important encounter, one may wonder about the impressions of the participants: What is the experience of a Zen monk living in a Christian monastery? What do the Christian hosts think about these Zen monastics? To answer these types of questions, we have collected three reports by participants in an intermonastic exchange that took place in 1987 at the Monastery of Montserrat in Spain. First is a report from Brother Bartomeu Ubach, one of the persons responsible for hosting the two Zen Buddhist guests. This is followed by reports by the two Zen Buddhists involved in the exchange, Gensh6 H6zumi Roshi and his disciple Genkai Sugimoto. We wish to thank Professor Tokiyuki Nobuhara (Claremont Center for Process Studies) for his careful translation of theJapanese reports.
