Daisetsu Teitaro Suzuki is considered a key figure in the
introduction of Buddhism to the non-Asian world. Many in the West
encountered Buddhism for the very first time through his writings
and teaching, and for nearly a century his work and legacy have
contributed to the ongoing religious and cultural interchange
between Japan and the rest of the world.
Volume 2 of the collected works of D.T. Suzuki brings together his
writings on Pure Land Buddhism. Suzuki had a long and abiding
interest in this strand of Buddhism, particularly Japanese Shin
Buddhism, which he wrote about frequently throughout his life. At
the center of the Pure Land tradition is the Buddha Amida and his
miraculous, transcendent realm known as the paradise or "land of
bliss," where sentient beings should aspire to be born in their
next life and where liberation and enlightenment are assured to
all. Suzuki, by highlighting certain themes in Pure Land Buddhism
and de-emphasizing others, shifted its focus from a future,
otherworldly goal to religious experience in the present, wherein
one realizes the non-duality between the Buddha and oneself and
between the paradise and this world. His cogent, distinctive, and
thought-provoking interpretations helped to stimulate new
understandings of Pure Land Buddhism quite different from
traditional doctrine.
