Lacan and Chan Buddhist Thought provides a close reading of how Lacan mobilizes concepts from Chan Buddhist philosophy, culture, and practice in his later teachings.

The book emerged from the three co-authors' engagement with Lacan's 1962-1963 Seminar on Anxiety, and the significance of Lacan's original interpretation of the Buddhist principle that desire is the cause of suffering. The book reads key Lacanian concepts - such as the objet a, jouissance, the real, Nirvana, and the mirror - through ancient Buddhist teachings and koans. With this focused exploration of psychoanalysis and Chan Buddhism, the authors offer a philosophically grounded cross-cultural approach to the theory and practice of psychoanalysis in Asian countries.
