The Zen Koan as a Means of Attaining Enlightenment by Daisetz Teitaro Suzuki
Requirements: .ePUB, .MOBI/.AZW reader, 839 KB
Overview: Born in Japan in 1870, Daisetz Teitaro Suzuki is the man often credited as introducing the West to Zen Buddhism, through his many books and essays, written in both Japanese and English. He also wrote on Shin Buddhism and Christian mysticism, as well as translating major Mahayana Buddhist and Daoist scriptures into English for the first time. As a professor, he lectured in many universities around the world and resided at Otani University in Kyoto, Japan for many years. He tirelessly promoted Buddhism in both Japan & the West until his death in 1966.
The whole point of Zen practice is to experience satori, or awakening, which is the initial glimpse of enlightenment. This comes after a long period working with a koan (a kind of Zen riddle), a practice Suzuki describes with great skill in this book. A student is given a koan by his Zen master, with which he or she must grapple until they see its true meaning, which is also the meaning of Zen. Examples of the koan given in the book include "When your mind is not dwelling on the dualism of good and evil, what is your original face before you were born?"
