I have included Angelus Silesius & Frederick Franck as two of my ‘Major Educators’ because of a particular, remarkable book called The Book of Angelus Silesius, The 17thC European Zen poet whose verses form a bridge beteen the mysticism of the East and West.
The book was published by Wildwood House in 1976. In his book he places side by side insights from Zen and from the mystic Angelus Silesius. Frederick Franck is better known for his Zen of Seeing but for me his inspired bringing together of East and West was, and remains, a cornerstone of my world-view.
Franck is well honoured HERE:
