How reputable is D.T. Suzuki among modern Zen Buddhists?
score:5
Accepted answer
Heβs pretty phenomenal if you ask me. Iβd highly recommend most of his earlier writings. People forget that he had some training as a monk under a fairly renowned master.
Just remember, however. Thereβs only one authentic representation of Zen - that which you find on the cushion staring into mushin.
