• Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind ~ Shunryu Suzuki Roshi

  A reading of selected passages from the classic text, Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind by Shunrya Suzuki. This text, along with Philip Kapleau's The Three Pillars of Zen (1965), is one of the two most influential books on Zen in the West. Even today, many Zen meditation centers still use "Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind" as a teaching manual because it bridges Eastern Zen thought and Western modern life. This modern interpretation not only promoted the cross-cultural dissemination of Zen Buddhism, but also had a wide influence on fields such as educational theory and psychology.Shunryu Suzuki (1904-1971) was born into a family of Buddhist monks in Japan. He received spiritual education of the Soto School since childhood and served as the abbot of a temple during World War II. In 1959, he moved to San Francisco and discovered the growing interest of Americans in Zen Buddhism. In 1962, he founded the Old Jinshan Zen Center and subsequently established the Tassajara Zen Mountain Center, which was the first Buddhist temple outside Asia specifically for Western practitioners. Through his books and doctrines, Suzuki translated the complex Zen philosophy into a language that is easier for Western readers to understand.🙏 May whatever goodness arises from these readings/offerings be for the benefit of all sentient beings.🔆 These podcasts are not monetized.
