MARTIN BUBER'S "I AND THOU";.
(Passages from the central work of the great "philosopher of dialogue" whom Rexroth called "practically the only religious writer a non-religious person could take seriously today" and whose philosophy others have jokingly but not altogether inaccurately referred to as "Zen Judaism")

THE HASIDISM OF MARTIN BUBER
(A critical appreciation by Kenneth Rexroth)

BASHO'S FROG HAIKU
(30 translations of the famous haiku, with a commentary by Zen teacher Robert Aitken)

BASHO'S "NARROW ROAD TO THE INTERIOR"
(Nine translations of the opening paragraph of Basho's travel journal, with links to complete online versions)

HAIKU AND JAPANESE RELIGION
(Rexroth's review of some of the above translations)

The Buber and Basho passages are part of a series of comparative translations that also includes Homer, Sappho, Tu Fu, Baudelaire, the "Tao Te Ching", the "Kalevala" and the "Carmina Burana".
