Inhaltsangabe

The Life and Zen Teaching of Shunryu Suzuki

This is the brilliant, long-awaited biography of the most influential and well-loved Zen master in the West, Shunryu Suzuki Roshi. Suzuki is the author of the bestselling Zen book of all time, ZEN MIND BEGINNER’S MIND which is still the key core stock item for any Zen/Buddhism section even now more than 25 years after its initial publication. This excellent biography, researched for many years by one of his closest students with the cooperation of Suzuki’s wife, is a lively, lucid account of an extraordinary life–a poor temple boy in Japan who learned English, moved to California and founded the first monastery in the West and in turn influenced the practice of Zen in his home country.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

Shunryu Suzuki is known to countless readers as the author of the modern spiritual classic 'Zen Mind, Beginner’s Mind.' This most influential teacher comes vividly to life in 'Crooked Cucumber'. To create his intimate and engrossing narrative, David Chadwick draws on Suzuki’s own words and the memories of his students, friends and family, interspersed with previously unpublished passages from Suzuki’s talks and correspondence.

“It is impossible to imagine a better book about Suzuki Roshi. Its precise picture of Suzuki’s values, hopes and problems could make it a major primer of Zen itself.”
ROBERT PIRSIG, author of 'Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance'

“Shunryu Suzuki comes to life through these pages to a degree I would not have thought possible. Chadwick has produced a remarkable biography of a truly remarkable man.”
HUSTON SMITH, author of 'The World’s Religions'
