• Archive: Daisetz Teitaro Suzuki was a remarkable man.
• Throughout his long life he worked untiringly to bring the message of Zen, and Buddhism in general, to the West, and his reputation as a scholar and gifted teacher was internationally recognized.Above and beyond his scholarship, however, Suzuki touched in some special way everyone who met him.
• He embodied the satori—awakening—that he had experienced while still a young man studying with his own Zen master; his simplicity in the midst of complexity and his utter lack of intellectual snobbery combined to create an extraordinary impression of warmth, yet quiet authority.
• And indeed, he touched the lives of many—from theologians and philosophers to psychologists, poets, musicians, and artists the world over; thinkers as diverse as Thomas Merton, Paul Tillich, Carl Jung, Erich Fromm, Dr. Hu Shi, Allen Ginsberg, and Bernard Leach—to name a few.A Zen Life: D. T. Suzuki Remembered is a heartfelt tribute to this man.
• A very personal collection of essays, it provides an intimate view of what Suzuki meant to those who knew him.
