More about the book
If the Western world knows anything about Zen Buddhism, it's down to the efforts of one remarkable man, D.T. Suzuki. The 27-year-old Japanese scholar first visited the West in 1897 & over the course of the next 70 years became the world's leading authority on Zen. His radical & penetrating insights earned him many disciples, from Carl Gustav Jung to Allen Ginsberg, from Thomas Merton to John Cage. In Mysticism: Christian & Buddhist Suzuki compares the teachings of the great Christian mystic Meister Eckhart with the spiritual wisdom of Shin & Zen Buddhism. By juxtaposing cultures that seem to be radically opposed, Suzuki raises one of the fundamental questions of human experience: at the limits of our understanding, is there an experience that is universal to all humanity? Mysticism: Christian & Buddhist is a book that challenges & inspires; it will benefit readers of all persuasions who seek to understand something of the nature of spiritual life.
