Making Sense William John Bromwich

The book contains a collection of stories about a Zen Master, Bashu, who challenges those who ask for his advice with a view to enabling them to gain insight into their experience and achieve enlightenment. In the stories Zen monks and lay persons interact with the Zen Master in an attempt to deal with the challenges they encounter in their day-to-day lives. Some of the stories focus on the experience of a Christian monk who achieves enlightenment one step at a time, each one in a different story. These Zen stories also touch on Christian topics and are written in an unorthodox style, influenced by Western literature and perspectives.
