V kurzu CAC \u201eZ\u00e1klady anga\u017eovan\u00e9 kontemplace\u201c James Finley reflektuje to, co se nau\u010dil o mezic\u00edrkevn\u00edm p\u0159\u00e1telstv\u00ed od Thomase Mertona: <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Thomas Merton m\u011bl hlubok\u00fd smysl pro hled\u00e1n\u00ed Boha a jeho propojen\u00ed se sv\u011btem. M\u011bl hlubokou l\u00e1sku ke sv\u00e9 vlastn\u00ed mystick\u00e9, kontemplativn\u00ed k\u0159es\u0165ansk\u00e9 tradici, kter\u00e1 se t\u00e1hla nap\u0159\u00ed\u010d v\u011bky. Napsal dv\u011b knihy o zenov\u00e9m buddhismu, Zen and the Birds of Appetite (Zen a pt\u00e1ci chuti) a Mystics and Zen Masters (Mystici a zenov\u00ed mist\u0159i). Ve sv\u00e9m dopise D. T. Suzukimu, kter\u00fd byl buddhistick\u00fdm u\u010dencem, napsal: \u201eKdy\u017e \u010dtu va\u0161e u\u010den\u00ed o t\u011bchto rozhovorech mezi mistrem a u\u010ditelem, kde je \u017e\u00e1k osv\u00edcen v p\u0159\u00edtomnosti u\u010ditele, n\u011bco na m\u011b vysko\u010d\u00ed ze str\u00e1nky a \u0159\u00edk\u00e1: \u201aTo je pravda.\u2018\u201c [1] V podstat\u011b \u0159ekl: \u201eR\u00e1d bych v\u011bd\u011bl, zda bych jako k\u0159es\u0165an mohl s v\u00e1mi jako buddhistou dialogovat o na\u0161ich spole\u010dn\u00fdch z\u00e1kladech.\u201c A Suzuki pozv\u00e1n\u00ed p\u0159ijal. Merton tak p\u0159istupoval ke v\u0161em a oni s n\u00edm p\u0159i\u0161li mluvit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Merton vid\u011bl, \u017ee sv\u011bt nep\u0159e\u017eije n\u00e1bo\u017eenstv\u00ed zalo\u017een\u00e9 na skupinov\u00e9m v\u011bdom\u00ed. To cel\u00fd sv\u011bt zni\u010d\u00ed. Ale pokud ti, kte\u0159\u00ed byli ve sv\u00e9 tradici probuzeni k bo\u017esk\u00e9mu tajemstv\u00ed, kter\u00e9 tak\u00e9 p\u0159esahuje jejich tradici, p\u0159ijdou do tohoto v\u0161eobj\u00edmaj\u00edc\u00edho centra, poznaj\u00ed se navz\u00e1jem. A pokud by promluvili, probuzen\u00ed n\u00e1bo\u017eenstv\u00ed by mohlo b\u00fdt zdrojem sv\u011btov\u00e9 jednoty a m\u00edru. Merton se sna\u017eil b\u00fdt n\u011bk\u00fdm, kdo mluvil z t\u00e9to sjednocen\u00e9 jasnosti. Vid\u011bl, \u017ee ka\u017ed\u00e9 n\u00e1bo\u017eenstv\u00ed je jako jin\u00fd jazyk univerzality probuzen\u00ed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Finley vzpom\u00edn\u00e1, jak hledal Mertonovo veden\u00ed p\u0159i rozv\u00edjen\u00ed sv\u00e9 vlastn\u00ed zv\u011bdavosti o buddhismu:<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Merton mluvil o kr\u00e1se t\u011bchto n\u00e1bo\u017eenstv\u00ed, jejich analogi\u00edch a podobnostech. Kdy\u017e jsem za n\u00edm chodil pro duchovn\u00ed veden\u00ed, \u017e\u00e1dal jsem ho, aby mi pomohl j\u00edt d\u00e1l. Nikdy na m\u011b netla\u010dil, ale j\u00e1 jsem ho o to po\u017e\u00e1dal. Sezn\u00e1mil m\u011b s Dharmou neboli buddhistick\u00fdm u\u010den\u00edm, kter\u00e9 na m\u011b m\u011blo hlubok\u00fd vliv. Tot\u00e9\u017e platilo pro j\u00f3gu. On s\u00e1m j\u00f3gu cvi\u010dil a sezn\u00e1mil m\u011b s n\u00ed. Z Indie p\u0159ijel jog\u00ednsk\u00fd mnich a v\u0161ichni jsme \u0161li na verandu Mertonovy poustevny, abychom spole\u010dn\u011b cvi\u010dili \u00e1sany \u2013 j\u00f3gov\u00e9 pozice. Lid\u00e9 byli p\u0159itahov\u00e1ni k Mertonovi, proto\u017ee c\u00edtili hloubku jeho v\u011bdom\u00ed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Thomas Merton jednou \u0159ekl, \u017ee pokud chceme studovat buddhismus, odpov\u011bd\u00ed nen\u00ed \u010d\u00edst spoustu knih o buddhismu, ale setkat se se svat\u00fdm buddhistou.

Filozof Jacques Maritain, kter\u00fd jednou nav\u0161t\u00edvil Mertona v kl\u00e1\u0161te\u0159e, \u0159ekl: \u201ePokud existuje m\u00edsto, kde Kristus nen\u00ed p\u0159\u00edtomen, jd\u011bte tam.
