Pr�sentation de l'�diteur :

D.T. Suzuki was the greatest ambassador of Zen Buddhism to the West in the twentieth century. In this collection of his most important essays he explores the history of Buddhism, the daily life of a Zen monk and the path to enlightenment. Essays on Zen Buddhism is a meditation on the meaning of existence as well as a critical account of Buddhism. Suzuki explains how Zen has its origins in the spiritual enlightenment of the Buddha while its central fact is the attainment of Satori , an intuitional understanding of the truth of Zen. He explains how Satori can be attained, and the methods that are needed to bring it about. Zen is not a religion, it is a way of perceiving, acting and being and these essays are the classic introduction to it, providing a foundation for living a fulfilled life.
