Throughout his long life, the famous Dr. Suzuki wrote a great deal on Zen Buddhism. This book contains, apart from the texts directly related to the central theme, an infinity of related aspects: from Mahayana Buddhism to the Rinzai discourses, passing for Japanese art and culture.

The selection has been made by the great British scholar Christmas Humphreys, and the book is a strict editorial novelty.

As is his wont, Dr. Suzuki conveys his teaching energetically and lucidly. In this sense, Zen Buddhism is a book that should interest both the layman and the expert.
