Zen at the End of Religion is a brief introduction to Zen as a practical expression of perennial wisdom, a "naturalistic perennialism."

Hoe kan het dat de arrogante collega, die iedereen slecht behandelt, toch succes heeft en de carrièreladder beklimt? Hoe kan het dat de moeder, die altijd taart aan de buren geeft, haar kind verliest? Het boeddhisme biedt een andere verklaring: Karma. Er zijn verbanden zoals "Doe goed, en goed zal je overkomen" of "Karma heeft geen vervaldatum". Het idee van karma helpt ons de bovenstaande voorbeelden te plaatsen, het levenspad te begrijpen en gerechtigheid te erkennen.

Questa affermazione è familiare a tutti noi. Tuttavia, a volte la vita ci sembra ingiusta. Alcune persone attribuiscono questi eventi della vita al destino, alla ricompensa o alla punizione. Tuttavia, il buddhismo offre una spiegazione diversa: il karma. Ci sono connessioni come «Fai del bene, e il bene ti accadrà» o «Il karma non ha data di scadenza».
