Historique
Ruth Fuller Sasaki was a Zen practitioner and author on Zen from Kyoto, Japan. She began Zen practice in 1941 at the Nanzen-ji Monastery in Kyoto under Nanshinken Roshi and later Goto Zuigan Roshi (with some interim interruptions causing her to move to New York to study under Sokei-an Roshi). She writes to express interest in Merton's «Mystics and Zen Masters» and to introduce Merton to her books «The Zen Koan» and «Zen Dust». She questions Merton on some statements he makes about "do-it-yourself" Zen and the question of practicing Zen without the guidance of a Zen master.
