Ruth Fuller Sasaki, who died in 1967, was a pivotal figure in the
emergence and development of Zen Buddhism in the United States. She
is the only Westerner--and the only woman--to be made a priest of a
Daitoku-ji temple and was mentor to Burton Watson, Philip
Yampolsky, and Gary Snyder, and mother-in-law of Alan Watts. This
is the first biography of her remarkable life.
Few devoted their lives to Zen Buddhism as Ruth Fuller did. As a
senior student of Sokei-an Sasaki in New York, Ruth helped him
develop the infrastructure of what would eventually become The
First Zen Institute in New York City. She married Sasaki in 1944,
and it was her mission to maintain The First Zen Institute and
later, to establish The First Zen Institute of America in Japan.
Her legacy remains today in the Zen facilities she helped build in
New York and abroad and in the many texts she saw through
translation, published from the 1950s to the 1970s. For the first
time in book form, three of her writings are included here--"Zen: A
Religion", "Zen: A Method for Religious Awakening", and "Rinzai Zen
Study for Foreigners in Japan".
