I just learned the Jesuit Christovao Ferreira converted to Zen Buddhism
(albeit with deadly torture in the proximity) and started writing
anti-Christian pamflets.

http://opencopy.org/content/view/71/36/ (based on Batchelor's *'The
Awakening of the West: The Encounter of Buddhism and Western Culture'*)

Have any of these been published in an Indo-European language?

Thanks,
