One of the world's leading authorities on Zen Buddhism, D. T.
Suzuki was the author of more than a hundred works on the subject
in both Japanese and English, and was most instrumental in bringing
the teachings of Zen Buddhism to the attention of the Western
world. Written in a lively, accessible, and straightforward manner,
"An Introduction to Zen Buddhism" is illuminating for the serious
student and layperson alike. Suzuki provides a complete vision of
Zen, which emphasizes self-understanding and enlightenment through
many systems of philosophy, psychology, and ethics. With a foreword
by the renowned psychiatrist Dr. Carl Jung, this volume has been
generally acknowledged a classic introduction to the subject for
many years. It provides, along with Suzuki's "Essays" and "Manual
of Zen Buddhism," a framework for living a balanced and fulfilled
existence through Zen.
In the first four essays in this collection, D. T. Suzuki reads
Meister Eckhart with the eye of a master, pointing out where his
understanding deeply coincides with that of Zen Buddhism. Next, he
takes on a subject Christians often find difficult, the question of
transmigration or reincarnation. Suzuki then compares the
dimensionality of the crucifixion with that of enlightenment. In
the later essays, Suzuki moves on to the Pure Land tradition of
Buddhism, and in particular to the works of Rennyo (1415-1499) and
the poetry of Asahara Saichi (1850-1932), for which he provides a
rare translation.
