A review by ginnybarns
An Introduction to Zen Buddhism by D.T. Suzuki, C.G. Jung

4.0

I took my time with this little book. I can't say I understood everything, but according to the reading that's okay. My favorite chapters where "Practical Zen" and "Satori, Acquiring a New Viewpoint". While it is an interesting subject, I am personally more interested in testing the principles of Zen in my own life than reading much more about it. Suzuki really drives home that Zen is not found in intellectual or philosophical thought, but in the everyday and personal experience. I like that. So if you are interested in the this topic, this book is both a great introduction for Western readers and a reading that stays true to the teachings of Zen.
