This review is from: Essays in Zen Buddhism: (second series) with twenty-five collotype reproductions of old masters (Complete works of D.T. Suzuki) (Library Binding)

I've read the complete collection in the french translation.
Among other searches on the subject i found D.T.Suzuki who writes the real thing just quietly in a serious and serene way, no explanations no propaganda .
It helped me deffinetly entering through Zen into Awereness simply feeling one together.
The way is not fast it takes the time it takes .
