Author: Daisetz Teitaro Suzuki
About: Dr. Suzuki is generally regarded as the outstanding spokesman for
Zen Buddhism in the West. A master stylist in the English language, he
writes of Zen with the directness and concreteness that characterize
Zen itself.
As he describes the training of the monk, he is as the same time
bringing this rigid mental discipline to life in a manner no
conventional explanation could. Dr. Suzuki's book is enhanced by 43
drawings from another Zen monk, Zenchu Sato, depicting the latter's own
experiences as a novice. This is a major work that must be read by any
Westerner who is interested in understanding Eastern thought.
