"Before he entered the Orthodox Church and became Fr. Seraphim Rose,
Eugene Rose went to San Francisco to study Zen at the Academy founded
by Alan Watts. After exposure to both the best known Zen masters and
teachers in the country as well as Alan Watts' "hipster Zen" and the
Beats, Eugene, went on to study Taoism under Gi Ming Shien. This
document, his resulting masters thesis, shows his intellectual
progress up to the point before he discovered Orthodox Christianity."

"This is a large PDF, scanned from a copy, which preserves Eugene's
Orthography of Chinese characters right on the typewritten page."
