Описание к видео 'Zen Buddhism' (selected writings of Zen Buddhism) by D.T. Suzuki

An audio book from the content of the largest figure in history to play a part in opening the West to Buddhism. The eminent Zen author, D.T. Suzuki gives his readers the very heart of Zen teaching, which was edited by William Barrett. Zen Buddhism includes a basic historical background as well as a thorough overview of the techniques for Zen practice. Concepts and terminology such as satori and koans, as well as the various elements of this philosophy are all given clear explanations. But while Suzuki takes nothing for granted in the reader's understanding of the fundamentals, he does not give a merely rudimentary overview. Each of the essays go far beyond other sources for their penetrating insights and timeless wisdom.

What is most important about D.T. Suzuki's work and what comes across so powerfully in these selections is his unparalleled ability to communicate the experiential aspect of Zen. The intensity here with which Zen philosophy comes to life is without parallel in the canon of Buddhist literature. Suzuki stands apart from all teachers before or since because of his exceptional ability to eloquently capture in words the seemingly inexpressible essence of Zen. (Produced/Read by Vincent Bagnall.
