Basil Pennington is a Trappist monk who writes on prayer and contemplation. He tells of a trip he took to Japan, where he paid a call on a noted Zen master, Josha Sasaki Roshi:

“I went in to see the Roshi. He sat there before me, very much a Buddha. As he smiled from ear to ear and rocked gleefully back and forth, he said, ‘I like Christianity. But I would not like Christianity without the resurrection.’ Then he added: ‘Show me your resurrection. I want to see your resurrection.’ In his simplicity and clarity, the master had gone straight to the heart of things. With his directness, he was saying what everyone else implicitly says to us Christians: You are a Christian. You are risen with Christ. Show me, and I will believe.” (M. Basil Pennington, Breaking Bread: The Table Talk of Jesus [Harper & Row, 1986], 105.)
