The Training of the
Zen Buddhist Monk
By Daisetz Teitaro Suzuki, Illustrated by Zenchu Sato. 159 pg., 5 1/2"
x 8 1/2" paperback. This is perhaps the best introduction to Zen and
the life of the Zen monk. By means of a direct and succinct description
of the training that a Zen Buddhist monk undergoes, Dr. Suzuki has given
us the most precise picture possible of Zen in life. The forty-three illustrations
give a unique value to the book. The artist, Zenchu Sato, has depicted here
the record of his own experiences in going through all the disciplinary
measures pertaining to the life of Zen. |
