Book Description

Square One Classics January 2003
In 1929, when author Dwight Goddard wrote The Buddha’s Golden Path, he was breaking ground. No American before him had lived the life of a Zen Buddhist monk, and then set out to share what he had learned with his countrymen.

Released in the midst of the Great Depression, this title offered answers to the questions that millions of disillusioned people were beginning to ask--questions about what was really important in their lives. Questions we still ask ourselves today. The Buddha’s Golden Path is a true classic. It has touched countless lives, and opened the door for future generations in this country to study and embrace the principles of Zen.

About the Author

Born in Worcester, Massachusetts in 1861, Dwight Goddard was a pioneer in the American Zen Buddhist movement. After graduating from college as an industrial engineer, he made his fortune in service to the United States Government during World War I. Greatly disillusioned by the brutality of war, Goddard became a missionary for the American Board. He was sent first to China, and later to Japan, where he lived in and studied at a Zen Buddhist monastery outside Kyoto for nearly one year. In 1924, having moved back to the States, he began writing books on Buddhism. By the time of his death in 1939, he had authored and edited nine titles, among them, A Buddhist Bible, the book credited with influencing the views of Jack Kerouac, iconic Beat Generation author.
