First Sentence
BEFORE I proceed to the discussion of the main idea of this essay, which is to consider Zen the Chinese way of applying the doctrine of Enlightenment in our practical life, I wish to make some preliminary remarks concerning the attitude of some Zen critics and thereby to define the position of Zen in the general body of Buddhism. Read the first page

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful, 6 Sep 2003
This review is from: Essays in Zen Buddhism: First Series (Paperback)
This book took me further than others I have read on Zen. However, much of it is just repeated in the introduction book. The best part is Suzuki's explanation of the Buddha's will to find enlightenment, rather than just his intelligence or mythical facade.

5.0 out of 5 stars Thoroughly Zen, 9 April 2004
Suzuki can be designated as the person responsible for bringing Zen to the West. In this vein, he can be considered a sort of modern-day Bodhidharma (who originally brought the ancestor of Zen-Buddhism to China).
It is not surprising that Suzuki convinced so many people of the worth of Zen; he is passionate about it down to the marrow. Being a highly educated and extremely well-documented scholar, he presents a quite technical treatise on various aspects of Zen in this volume, and the sheer technicality of the discussion can be somewhat trying for non-philosphers such as myself at times. On the other hand, his clarity, instructive repetitiveness and allround grip on the subject allow the strange combination of academic analysis and mystic reverence to work in beautiful and convincing ways.
It took me longer than anticipated to read through the volume, but I don't regret a single moment of the time spent.
The book is a warmly recommended read for the Zen enthousiast or sympathiser who has read a few things here and there, and is ready to take a plunge in some deeper water, yet if you are new to Zen and just want a taste, I would recommend Suzuki's 'Introduction to Zen Buddhism' as a first read. The 'Introduction' summarizes many of the essays presented in full in the 'Essays', and as such makes for a lighter read and slightly broader scope. If you like the 'Introduction' however, this (the 'Essays') will be your next buy! I know I'm going to purchase Volume Two and Three as soon as my cashflow allows :).

5.0 out of 5 stars Simply Powerful, 4 Feb 1997
By A Customer
Suzuki's works offer a clear insight look at the often misunderstood world of zen. Suzuki gives the reader the ability to understand zen, rather than dictating what zen is. This work would be of benefit to any one wishing to see if zen is 'right' for them.
