An Introduction to Zen Buddhism by Daisetz Teitaro Suzuki

4.0

Fascinating book masterfully detailing the concepts of Zen. The first section of the book is the most interesting, as Suzuki attempts to reveal the meaning of zen without much explanation, but somehow by the end you have an idea of not just what he's talking of, but why he chose a seemingly illogical method of teaching, and what all of that means. The last half of the book slows down and, in my opinion, retreats from zen slightly as it goes into the daily life of a Zen Buddhist monk. But then, it is all Zen, after all. A wonderful quick and enlightening read.
