<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"Originally published by Broadway Books as To shine one corner of the world"--Verso.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b><b>Personal stories and anecdotes of the trailblazing Zen teacher Suzuki Roshi--now reissued in hardcover in tandem with the publication of the follow-up volume, </b><b><i>Zen Is Right Now</i></b><b>. </b></b> <p/>Shunryu Suzuki's extraordinary gift for presenting traditional Zen teachings using ordinary language is well known to the countless readers of <i>Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind</i>. In <i>Zen Is Right Here</i>, his teachings are brought to life through stories told by his students. These living encounters with Zen are poignant, direct, humorous, paradoxical, and enlightening--and their setting in real-life contexts makes them wonderfully accessible. <p/>Like the Buddha himself, Shunryu Suzuki gave profound teachings that were skillfully expressed for each moment, person, and situation he encountered. He emphasized that while the essence of Buddhism is constant, the expression of that essence is always changing. Each of the stories presented here is an example of this versatile and timeless quality, showing that the potential for attaining enlightenment exists right here, at this very place.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>SHUNRYU SUZUKI (1904-1971) was one of the most influential spiritual teachers of the twentieth century and is truly a founding father of Zen in America. A Japanese priest of the Soto lineage, he taught in the United States from 1959 until his death. He was the founder of the San Francisco Zen Center and the Tassajara Zen Mountain Center. He is the author of <i>Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind </i>and <i>Branching Streams Flow in the Darkness</i>, and he is the subject of the biography <i>Crooked Cucumber</i> by David Chadwick.<br/><br/>DAVID CHADWICK began his Zen study under Shunryu Suzuki Roshi in 1966. Ordained as a Zen priest in 1971, he later wrote Suzuki's biography, <i>Crooked Cucumber</i>, as well as <i>Thank You and OK!: An American Zen Failure in Japan</i>. With a great deal of help, Chadwick is poo-bah of Cuke Archives, preserving the legacy of Shunryu Suzuki and those whose paths crossed his--and anything else that comes to mind.
