Thomas Merton, moine cistercien américain, a voulu rappeler que l'avenir du l'homme ne se situe pas seulement au niveau du social, mais également du sprituel. Il s'agit de trouver en nous l'éternel. C'est pour cela qu'il s'est tourné vers les traditions religieuses de l'Asie, notamment le bouddhisme et le taoïsme. il a eu des intuitions géniales sur leur originalité. Merton appelait à un véritable œcuménisme, celui des âmes et des cœurs. Il est un des rares chrétiens qui ait compris le sens réel de la métaphysique orientale. Ses textes sur la méditation zen, Le Nirvana ou les écrits de Tchouang Tseu sont d'une grande richesse. Ils méritent d'être redécouverts.
