Zen History -- D.T. Suzuki and the Transmission of Zen to the West
from Endless Path Zendo | Roshi Rafe Martin
Recorded September 21, 2024.Roshi Martin reads from (and comments on) "A Zen Life: D.T. Suzuki Remembered" focusing on the important, indeed, seminal role Dr. D.T. Suzuki (NOT Shunryu Suzuki) played in the transmission of Zen to the West. In his reading aloud from the book he focuses on the chapters written by his own teachers -- Philip Kapleau and Robert Aitken -- as well as the chapter by Gary Snyder, all of whom reveal that Suzuki was absolutely central to their own personal turn to the actual practice of Zen. It made for an inspiring morning, putting our own connection with Zen tradition within a larger context.Books by Roshi Rafe MartinTalks on YouTubeMore information at endlesspathzen.org
