Customer Reviews
Wonderful - Rated Have really enjoyed reading about this man. Perhaps some areas could have been written in a better order as it gets a little bit confusing in places. However this would not stop me buying this book. You come to love a great personality. Every time I put the book down I had a smile on my face. It is also a great account of the times Suzuki lived in, particularly the Second World War in Japan. An intriguing Man not failed at all by his biographer who gets across the motivations and flaws of Suzuki very well indeed. Everything changes... - Rated A plain and raw picture of a Zen Master. Sometimes it feels that you are watching a documentary movie as you step on Suzuki's quotes along with the Chadwick's own writing. If it would be possible to write picture of Suzuki, it would be like this. No saint, no devil just himself. Good read which makes you think - Rated I thoroughly enjoyed this biography of Shunryu Suzuki. It integrates the story of his life with his teaching and really the story of the movement of zen from Japan to the USA. I finished it two days ago and still am not sure how I have been left feeling, which is good. Suzuki is not made a saint here - his flaws, his errors, his failings are plain to see. I must have enjoyed it - I want to get hold of the follow up on what happened to zen in the States after his death!
