Warrior of Zen: The Diamond-Hard Wisdom Mind of Suzuki Shosan Book Description

The teachings of one of Japan's most dynamic and original Zen masters are presented in this colorful, enlightening book. In a sparkling translation of the enormously popular Japanese text, Suzuki Shosan describes his own spiritual odyssey and counsels readers from all walks of life on a wide range of human problems.
KEY TEACHINGS OF ZEN'S FOREMOST SAMURAI MONK
Suzuki Shosan is among the most dramatic personalities on the history of Zen. A samurai who served under the Shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu in the seventeenth century, he became a Zen monk at age 41 and evolved a highly original teaching style imbued with the warrior spirit. The warrior's life, Shosan
believed, was particularly suited to Zen study because it demand vitality, courage, and "death energy," the readiness to confront death at any moment. Emphasizing dynamic activity over quiet contemplation, Shosan urged students to realize enlightenment in the midst of their daily tasks, whether
tilling fields, selling wares, or confronting an enemy in the hear of battle. Long popular in Japan but little know to the West, Shosan is presented here to Western readers in a sparkling translation and with a comprehensive introduction that brings alive his unique and colorful teaching.
