One of the most important texts of Mahayana Buddhism
Excerpt from Outlines of Mahayana Buddhism The object of this book is twofold: (i) To refute the many wrong opinions which are entertained by Western critics concerning the fundamental teachings of Mahayana Buddhism; (2) To awake interest among scholars of comparative religion in the development of the religious sentiment and faith as exemplified by the growth of one of the most powerful spiritual forces in the world. The book is therefore at once popular and scholarly. It is popular in the sense that it tries to expose the fallacy of the general attitude assumed by other religionists towards Mahayanism. It aims to be scholarly, on the other hand, when it endeavors to expound some of the most salient features of the doctrine, historically and systematically.

Mit Bildern von Satô Zenchû
Daisetz Teitaro Suzuki (1870-1966) war ein japanischer Gelehrter, Philosoph, zeitweise Mönch und Übersetzer von Meister Soen Shaku. In diesem Buch beschreibt er den Alltag eines Zen-Mönchs, von der Eintrittszeremonie über Alltagsarbeiten, Meditation, Bettelgänge bis hin zum Durchdringen des Koan-Studiums. Die Illustrationen stammen von Satô Zenchû (1883-1935), dem langjährigen Abt des Tôkeiji, eines Zweigtempels des Engakuji.
Sai Ayatsuji hat eine große Schwäche: Jedes Mal, wenn er jemandem helfen will, verfällt er in einen Schockzustand – bis eines Tages der Mecha Annihilator vor ihm auftaucht und ihm erklärt, dass er und seine Kameraden vorhaben, die Menschheit zu vernichten. Sai findet jedoch heraus, dass er Annihilator mithilfe seines Handys kontrollieren kann, und ist nun fest entschlossen, sich, seine Freunde und die gesamte Menschheit vor dem Ende zu bewahren!

Die Quintessenz des Buddhismus - zwischen tiefer Erfahrung und denkerischer Durchdringung. Nirgendwo sonst sind die Grundideen des Zen so klar und überzeugend dargestellt wie bei Suzuki, einem der Großen dieses Jahrhunderts. Ein Buch, wie ein Schlüssel zum richtigen Leben.
This magic box of wonderpills: Suzuki's famous essay on koan study, now in your hands, wafted down into mine. Here was my first Zen book telling how sages make monkeys out of disciples, then set the monkeys free. How? You will see that when you (read) through this standard work on the art of releasing nothingness into the void. Instant self-help? Not quite, perhaps. Although it could be, of course. Isn't it the right time now? - From the Introduction by Janwillem van de Wetering
