Best known as the man who brought Zen classics to the West, Daisetz
Teitaro Suzuki sheds light on all phases of a monk's experience,
from being initially refused admittance at the Zendo's door to the
definitive understanding the meaning of one's koan as the final act
of ordinance into Zen priesthood. The Training of the Zen Buddhist
Monk invites us inside the mysterious world of the Zendo, where
monks live their lives in monastic simplicity. Suzuki reveals the
subtle intricacies of the initiation ceremony, a monk's duty to beg
among the laity, and he explains the spiritual remuneration of
prayer & meditation as well as a life of service to
others.Initially published in 1934, this exceptional hardcover
edition contains handsome illustrations of diverse scenes from the
life training of a Zen monk.DAISETZ TEITARO SUZUKI (1870-1966) was
Japanese author who wrote essays and books on topics such as
Buddhism, Zen, and Shin. His books played a role in making the west
more knowledgeable with Far Eastern philosophy. He taught at
western schools as well as Japanese schools. He was also a
translator of Chinese, Japanese, and Sanskrit.
