This is perhaps the best introduction to Zen and the life of the Zen monk. A direct and succinct description of the training that a Zen Buddhist monk undergoes. Dr. Suzuki has given us a precise picture possible of Zen in life. The forty-three illustrations give a unique value to the book depicting the record of his own experiences in going through the disciplinary measures of Zen.
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
Suzuki, best known as the man who brought Zen classics to the West, sheds light on all phases of a monk’s experience, from being refused admittance at the door to finally understanding the meaning of one’s koan. Suzuki explains the initiation ceremony, the act of begging, and the life of prayers, meditation, and service. Suzuki’s introduction, written in 1964, sheds light on his personal history as a young man encountering Zen thought, and the illustrations, by Zenchu Sato, reveal Sato’s experiences in a Zendo. Suzuki also includes stories from ancient Zen masters to show how others have trained in this tradition.
