The basic idea of Zen is to touch the inner workings of our existence in the most direct way possible.

In this highly acclaimed introduction, Dr. D.T. Suzuki presents the nature, technique, and practice of Zen with exceptional clarity, wisdom, and sincerity. As a Japanese Zen teacher who was also a highly respected authority on Mahayana Buddhism and regularly taught in the USA and Europe, Suzuki was uniquely qualified to explain Zen to an international audience.

The author describes Zen as the foundation of Eastern culture. This book is essential reading for all Zen students and for anyone who wishes to understand the psychology of the Far East.
