The purpose of Playing in Emptiness is to expose readers to the notion of play in Zen/Chan Buddhism and its manifestation in emptiness, language, strange teaching methods, the erotic, comic, the fine arts, and the martial arts with the goal of shedding new light on the religious tradition.

Industry Reviews

“Carl Olson insightfully examines and explores many different aspects of Zen theory and practice, including meditative discipline, poetic language, monastic rules, and unusual teaching methods, from a fascinating lens that focuses on the role of playful discourse. This book is well suited for use in college classrooms as an accessible introduction to how Zen has developed a uniquely creative approach yet remains linked to other worldwide spiritual traditions.”
—Steven Heine, professor of religious studies and history, Florida International University
