The Field of Zen
Title
The Field of Zen
Description
The Buddhist Society of London, knowing the rising demand in the West for works on Zen by masters of that spiritual science, present herewith a selection of articles and recorded talks by Dr. Suzuki, mostly given during his visits to England in 1953, 1954, and 1958, and published in the Society’s journal, The Middle Way. (from the Foreword by Christmas Humphreys)
From the back cover:
“This collection covers such a wide range and forms such a complete collection in itself that it has been aptly called The Field of Zen.” – World Buddhism
“The style is simple, revealing Dr. Suzuki’s profound and wide learning, his thinking and culture, all of which are based upon the experience of his spiritual awakening.” – The Middle Way
“Will be welcomed by Suzuki’s admirers and indeed by anyone interested in Zen. As far as Zen is concerned, Suzuki was the apostle of the West…The fact that Zen has now become a household word in the English-speaking world is almost entirely due to him…The present collection of essays is vintage Suzuki…In this collection his creed seems to be more positively than ever the ‘reconciliation of opposites’ and the affirmation of becoming in the context of being.” – The Times [London] Literary Supplement
