D. T. Suzuki’s works on Zen Buddhism are among the best contributions to the knowledge of living Buddhism that recent decades have produced, and Zen itself is the most important fruit that has sprung from that tree whose roots are the collections of the Pali-Canon. The author has written the book in an easy and simple manner keeping in mind the general audience so the book can serve as a general introduction to Zen Buddhism, and leads the reader to his other works. Daisetsu Teitaro Suzuki was a well known Buddhist scholar, known for his important publications on Zen Buddhism. He was a professor at Otani University, Japan and was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize in 1963.
