Zen and Japanese Culture is a classic that has influenced generations of readers and played a major role in shaping conceptions of Zen's influence on Japanese traditional arts. In simple and poetic language, Daisetz Suzuki describes Zen and its historical evolution. He connects Zen to the philosophy of the samurai, and subtly portrays the relationship between Zen and swordsmanship, haiku, tea ceremonies, and the Japanese love of nature. Suzuki uses anecdotes, poetry, and illustrations of silk screens, calligraphy, and architecture. The book features an introduction by Richard Jaffe that acquaints readers with Suzuki's life and career and analyzes the book's reception in light of contemporary criticism, especially by scholars of Japanese Buddhism. Zen and Japanese Culture is a valuable source for those wishing to understand Zen in the context of Japanese life and art, and remains one of the leading works on the subject.… (altro)

from dust jacket

Zen is often difficult for westerners to grasp except superficially. Westerners tend to regard something as real only if it can be verbalized. Zen, as Skuzuki stresses, is above all a practical philosophy and way of life; it was not meant to stay on a page for academic contemplation. It is essentially beyond verbalization, but very real.

'Striclty speaking,' explains Suzuki, 'Zen has no philosophy of its own. Its teaching is concentrated on an intuitive experience, and the intellectual content of this experience can be supplied by a system of thought not necessarily Buddhistic.'

Therefore, rather than examine Zen abstractly, in Zen and Japanese Culture Suzuki explains it in the context of cultural matrix, with fruitful results. He examines Zen's relation to the art of swordsmanship, to the samuai's code of honor and conduct (bushido), to haiku poetry, to feeling for nature in visual art and architecture, and to the ceremony and art of tea. In this way, Zen and Japanese Culture goes a long way toward illuminating the mysteries and apparent paradoxes of Zen.

Zen is revealed more as a stance towards life than a set of propositions and rules-a stance involving a special relationship to life, death, one's body, and one's mind. Seeing Zen's effect on a whole culture helps us understand its real meaning in practical terms, and its power to inspire grace, dignity, and beauty.

One of the leading twentieth-century works on Zen, this book is a valuable source for those wishing to understand Zen concepts in the context of Japanese life and art. In simple, often poetic, language, Daisetz Suzuki describes what Zen is, how it evolved, and how its emphasis on primitive simplicity and self-effacement have helped to shape an aesthetics found throughout Japanese culture. He explores the surprising role of Zen in the philosophy of the samurai, and subtly portrays the relationship between Zen and swordsmanship, haiku, tea ceremonies, and the Japanese love of nature. Suzuki's contemplative discussion is enhanced by anecdotes, poetry, and illustrations showing silk screens, calligraphy, and examples of architecture.

EL ZEN Y LA CULTURA JAPONESA

PREFACIO

Este libro se publicó por vez primera en Japón, en 1938, con el título Zen
Buddhism and Its Influence on Japanese Culture, por la Eastern Buddhist Society
de la Otani Buddhist University, en Kyoto.

Desde entonces, he reunido una mayor información sobre los temas allí tratados
y. naturalmente, me hubiera gustado reescribir el libro en su totalidad. Sin
embargo, llevar a cabo esta tarea habría supuesto una cantidad de tiempo y de
trabajo que, en las actuales circunstancias, no puedo permitirme. Lo que he hecho.
no obstante, ha sido revisar el material original en la medida en que era necesario,
y añadir algunos artículos escritos de manera independiente sobre aquellos temas
que últimamente han despertado mi interés, como la esgrima (kendo), el arte del
té (cha-noyu)y el haiku. En algunos casos, ciertas repeticiones han sido inevita
bles. Dado que la presente obra no pretende ser un libro de texto ni un trabajo de
erudición, el autor solicita indulgencia por parte del lector; confió en que mis
limitaciones no parezcan excesivas o interfieran la coherencia del discurso.

Gran parte del contenido tiene su origen en diversas conferencias pronunciadas
en Inglaterra y América a lo largo del año 1936. Una parte del trabajo que lleva

Todo un clásico en la materia, el presente libro, escrito en forma de delicioso ensayo, está entereamente dedicado a captar indicios reveladores de cómo y por qué ciertos aspectos del "espíritu del zen" se están dejando sentir en la actualidad, y de una manera tan contundente, en toda la civilización occidental. De este modo, y tras una breve exposición sobre el significado del zen, Suzuki se dedica a examinar de forma detallada diversos aspectos del arte y la vida japoneses influidos por esta disciplina budista -el culto a la esgrima, la ceremonia del té, la forma poética del haiku y el amor por la naturaleza-, analizando también la relación existente entre zen y confucianismo, el papel del zen en la tradición de los samurais y el arte japonés, etc., todo ello sintetizado en sesenta y nueve ilustraciones. Y así, en una cultura, la nuestra, en la que el acelerado ritmo de la vida cotidiana se da por supuesto como norma universal, en una civilización en la que el interés por la posesión de "cosas" ha llegado a un nivel nunca antes conocido, las viejas y bellas virtudes japonesas, tal como Suzuki las describe, acaban desprendiendo un aroma inefablemente tranquilizador.

Zasigurno najvažnije delo o zenu u dvadesetom veku, ova knjiga je vredan izvor za one koji žele da razumeju položaj i značaj zena u okviru japanskog načina života i japanske umetnosti.

Daisec Suzuki jednostavnim i poetičnim jezikom objašnjava šta je zen (i šta nije) i kako je pomagao uobličavanju estetičkih osnova japanske kulture. On razjašnjava čudnovatu ulogu zena u filozofiji samuraja, suptilno portretišuči odnose između zena i mačevalaštva, haiku poezije, čajne ceremonije, konfucijanizma i ljubavi prema prirodi. Daisec Teitaro Suzuki, najveći autoritet za zen budizam, autor je više od stotinu knjiga i radova na tu temu. Živeo je 95 godina, aktivan do poslednjeg časa. Prijateljevao je i sa takvim znamenitim ličnostima kao što su Karl Gustav Jung, Erih From, Martin Hajdeger, Karl Jaspers, Arnold Tojnbi, i veoma uticao na njih. Herbert Riđ ga je okarakterisao kao „spoj nevinosti deteta i svetosti sveca".

Before I proceed to write about the influence of Zen on Japanese culture, I must explain what Zen is, for it is possible that my present readers may not know anything about it.
