Description
First published in 1927, Essays in Zen Buddhism offers a unique introduction to the philosophy and practice of Zen Buddhism. Dr D.T. Suzuki explores the origins of Zen as a Chinese interpretation of the Doctrine of Enlightenment, with the aim of achieving Satori - 'Sudden Enlightenment'.
Suzuki outlines the methods that can bring about Satori, while also stressing the importance of Zen as a way of life that can cope with everyday demands and frustrations. This book provides an understanding of Zen not as a religion, but as a way of perceiving, acting and being.
Written by one of the twentieth century's leading authorities on Buddhism, this book remains a foundation for living a fulfilled life. It is a thought-provoking exploration that continues to be relevant today.
