Merton on "oriental philosophy"--
"Can we be content to leave the rich Asian heritage of wisdom on the level of 'comparative religion,' and subject it to a superficial and passing consideration, checking off concepts like 'Tao' and 'Dharma' and 'Dhyana' as a bored tourist might saunter through the Louvre vaguely registering the famous masterpieces as he walked by them?" (Thomas Merton Reader, 302)
...bored tourists! That's how we go through life!
