This review is from: The Foundling: A Novel of Wandering in the Dreamland of Ch''an Masters (Paperback)
Buddhism is not a faith of the system, it is a faith of the individual. "The Foundling" is a novel of three individuals looking for their own place in Ch''an, also known as Zen in Japanese. These three''s path to enlightenment is by no means a traditional understanding, yet their search is ever the more intriguing. A novel presented as the lost historical records of these three monks, "The Foundling" is a thoughtful and thought provoking read.
