| | Amazon.com: Books: Crooked Cucumber : The Life and Zen Teaching Shunryu Suzuki |
| | From 1959 until his death in 1971, Zen master Shunryu Suzuki taught the principles and practice of Zen Buddhism to receptive audiences in San Francisco. | | | For example, when Suzuki became a monk at the age of 13, his master called him "Crooked Cucumber" because he seemed too scatterbrained and dull witted to be a Zen priest. | | | Suzuki's life is portrayed in a way that skillfully demonstates both what has been RIGHT and what has been WRONG with Zen in America, althought the author never stoops to lecture the reader on these points. |

| | Suzuki in his presentation of an ahistorical and essential Zen is actually presenting a highly sectarian Zen that privileges the Rinzai sect of Zen Buddhism and its practices while simultaneously criticizing Soto Zen and its practices. | | | Suzuki's "Militant Comparativism": Suzuki, Faure claims, reduces and simplifies the Christian tradition in his comparison of Zen mysticism to an inferior Christian mysticism (p.61). | | | Furthermore, Suzuki claims that Zen is neither a philosophy nor a religion bound to, as Faure explains, ""cults, dogmas, or collective beliefs"" but is in contrast to Christianity transcendent of such cultural accretions (p.62). |

| | Bayside Swedenborgian Church - http://www.baysidechurch.org |
| | Through the translation of Buddhist and Taoist texts he was about to commission from Suzuki, Carus was able to launch counterattacks against both Christian apologists and Sanskrit scholars whom he believed missed the substance of the texts by concentrating too much on the mere external form of Buddhist thought. | | | Deitsetz Suzuki was born in Kanzawa, an area north of Tokyo, in 1870 into a family of Renzai Zen lineage. | | | There can be little doubt that the writings of Swedenborg and the Jamesian interpretation of pragmatism, built as it was on a Swedenborgian foundation, defined for Suzuki the standard by which he would first introduce zen to the west?amely, not as a religion but as a spiritual psychology that had obvious and practical consequences. |

| | Wiggles & Waves: Dogen: Introductory Notes |
| | D.T. Suzuki was steeped in Rinzai Zen, which is the other major school of Zen in Japan, and so the West’s introduction to Zen was primarily to Rinzai Zen, the Zen of kenshos and koans. | | | Dogen’s influence is seen most directly in the West in the US in the teachings of Zen teachers such as Shunryu Suzuki, Dainin Katagiri, and Taizan Maezumi, and in teachings that have flowed from the Zen centers they founded, in SF, LA, and Minneapolis, through their Dharma heirs. | | | D.T. Suzuki’s influence has been said to have led the West to have a view of Zen as unmediated, ahistorical “pure experience,” and this influence has been attributed by scholar Robert Sharf to cultural bias on Suzuki’s part. |
