On the other hand, Garton-Gundling argues that the studies such as Beat Buddhism enabled American freedom to evolve, compete and coexist through this kind of cross-cultural philosophy. Grown up in a devout Catholic family and also affected by Eastern religion, he mixed those two influences into his haiku. It becomes Kerouac’s composition of haiku leads to the binary opposition.
