Qu'est-ce que le Zen ? Une philosophie, une secte bouddhiste, une psychothérapie ? Les réponses sont multiples et contradictoires. L'auteur de cet ouvrage raconte comment il est devenu un adepte du Zen, grâce à un long cheminement intérieur, et par des « pèlerinages aux sources », au Japon, où il a été ordonné moine du Sôtô-Zen. Ancien disciple et ami de Teilhard de Chardin, qui lui avait ouvert le chemin d'une nouvelle pensée, il explique ainsi sa position actuelle : « Entre le jour de ma première communion, et le jour où je fus sacré moine zen, il n'y a pas de déchirure, mais simplement un élargissement d'horizon. » François-Albert Viallet est peut-être parmi les premiers qui, par le Zen vécu, préparent la voie d'un dépassement, et le dialogue intuitif entre l'Orient et l'Occident, la pensée zen et la pensée chrétienne. Si les logiques contradictoires étaient acceptées, pourrait enfin se réaliser le mot prophétique de Teilhard de Chardin : « Nous sortons aujourd'hui de l'ère des religions, pour entrer dans l'ère de la Religion. »
