Abstract	Thomas Merton was a Trappist Monk of the Abby of Gethsemani of Kentucky who wrote over 70 books and hundreds of articles, mostly on spirituality, social justice and pacifism. Near the end of his life, he travelled to Asia and engaged in discourse with leaders of Zen, Hinduism, and other Eastern religions.
Notes	Bahá'í Faith: pp. 40, 50n, 368 (Glossary): p. 40: "In 1863 Baha'u'llah announced to the few remaining follwers of Bab that He (sic) was the chosen Manifestation of God for this age... but he was not greeted with enthusiasm by the religious leaders of Islam." p. 50n: "Bab: Babism was a religious sect founded in Persia in 1844 by Mirza Ali Mohammed ibn-Radhik who took the name Bab-ud-din ("Gate of Faith"). He taught that revelation was progressive and never final, and proscribed concubinage, polygamy, mendicancy, slavery, and the use of intoxicating drinks or drugs."
