The long-awaited new book on the essence of Zen practice from the beloved author of Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind
"Our way of sitting is for you to become yourself."
In this long-overdue book from one of the most influential spiritual teachers of the last century, Shunryu Suzuki Roshi shares simple, warmhearted teachings on a practice that is fundamentally about becoming yourself. In his inimitable style, filled with humor and insight, Becoming Yourself speaks directly to the newest beginners while also serving as a touchstone and a continual source of inspiration for even the most experienced practitioners and Zen teachers.
Becoming Yourself is based on the late Suzuki's lectures and brings to light many of his unpublished teachings. Throughout, Suzuki Roshi's voice is clear and resonates with the unmistakable power of true wisdom.
Biography
Shunryu Suzuki (geb. 1904 in Japan, gest. 1971 in den USA) gilt als der bedeutendste ZenMeister der Neuzeit. Als einfacher Tempelpriester entschloss er sich 1959 als Meditationslehrer nach Amerika zu gehen. In San Francisco gründete er das erste ZenZentrum im Westen, später das berühmte ZenKloster Tassajara in den kalifornischen Bergen. In den 60er Jahren war er der geistige Mittelpunkt der kulturellen und spirituellen Szene an der Westküste der USA. Zu seinen Schülern und Bewunderern gehörten berühmte Künstler wie Alan Ginsberg, John Lennon und Alan Watts.
