'Suzuki's works on Zen Buddhism are among the best contributions to
the knowledge of living Buddhism' Carl Jung Essays in Zen Buddhism
was the first book to fully introduce Zen in the West. In it, Dr
D.T. Suzuki outlines the origins of Zen as a unique Chinese
interpretation of the Doctrine of Enlightenment with the aim of
attaining Satori ('Sudden Enlightenment'). He describes how Satori
can be achieved and the methods that can bring it about - but
always stresses that Zen has to be a way of life that can cope with
the demands and frustrations of everyday life. Exploring the
history of Buddhism, the daily life of a Zen monk and the path to
enlightenment, Essays in Zen Buddhism offers an understanding of
Zen not as a religion but as a way of perceiving, acting and being.
It is both a classic introduction to Zen and a foundation for
living a fulfilled life. After reaching enlightenment at the age of
27, Dr Suzuki spent the next 65 years writing about Buddhism and
teaching in universities in Europe and the US. Widely regarded as
the twentieth century's leading authority on Buddhism, he was
nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize in 1963.
