In this praised introduction, Dr D.T. Suzuki presents the nature, technique and practice of Zen with exceptional clarity, wisdom and frankness. A Japanese Zen master who was also a highly respected authority on Mahayana Buddhism and who regularly taught in USA and Europe, Suzuki was uniquely qualified to explain Zen to an international readership. Zen is described by the author as a keystone of Oriental culture. This book is essential reading for all Zen students and for everyone who wishes to understand the psychology of the Far East.
(D.T. Suzuki, Rider )
Il mio giudizio : Un breve ma interessante testo di introduzione allo Zen scritto da uno dei piu' grandi professors and teachers of the Buddhist philosophy of the twentieth century. As I have already 'got to say, I always look a bit' skepticism of the books on Zen as a "talk" to risk alienating the Zen understanding of its real essence. However, this text seems very well done and certainly wrote very seriously.
