		Suzuki's master once remarked that he thought Suzuki would have very few disciples, and, as Chadwick notes, it was only when he came to America that Suzuki began to attract a large following.
		Another "funny story" Chadwick tells is that when people would confuse Shunryu Suzuki with the Harvard professor D.T. Suzuki, the roshi would say simply, "No, he's the big Suzuki, I'm the little Suzuki." Chadwick's biography provides a generous glimpse of the humanity and message of one of the great spiritual teachers of the modern world.
		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.

		Mixed in with the narrative of Suzuki's life are short passages (taken from interviews and tapes of Suzuki's talks) on his life and the teachings of Buddhism.
		Shunryu Suzuki in not a saint in this book, or at least he does not become one until late in his life after a lot of effort.
		The latter trait caused Suzuki's wife such a "dark night of the soul" that it brought her to enlightenment.

		Shunryu Suzuki, the author of "Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind," brought Soto Zen (one of the two main sects of Zen Buddhism, emphasizing "just sitting" or silent illumination meditation and its application to everyday activity) to the West.
		'Crooked Cucumber: The Life and Zen Teaching of Shunryu Suzuki,' by David Chadwick, a disciple of Shunryu Suzuki, chronicles Suzuki-roshi's life as a Buddhist priest in Japan, and then as the founder of the San Francisco Zen Center and Tassajara Zen Retreat in California, as well as abbot of many related zen groups.

		When Shunryu Suzuki Roshi's "Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind was published in 1972, it was enthusiastically embraced by Westerners eager for spiritual insight and knowledge of Zen.
		Given in 1970 at Tassajara Zen Mountain Center, the lectures are an example of a Zen teacher in his prime elucidating a venerated, ancient, and difficult work to his Western students.
		Suzuki Roshi's teachings are valuable not only for those with a general interest in Buddhism but also for students of Zen practice wanting an example of how a modern master in the Japanese Soto Zen tradition understands this core text today.

		With David Chadwick's biography of this extraordinary man, Shunryu Suzuki will take his rightful place as one of the progenitors of American Buddhism.
		The overarching theme of Suzuki's teaching is practice -- in a community setting -- and when he takes over a temple of aging Japanese Americans in San Francisco, his practice begins to attract younger Americans.
		A monk who was thought to be as useless as a crooked cucumber, under the pen of Chadwick turns out to be a brilliant, witty, tireless patriarch of American Zen.

		David Chadwick started studying with Zen master Shunryu Suzuki in 1966 at the age of 21 and was ordained by him as a Buddhist priest in 1971.
		This delightful, thought-provoking, and eminently wise collection of teachings from Shunryu Suzuki (1904-1971) has been gathered from his students and others involved with him at the San Francisco Zen Center and the Tassajara Zen Mountain Center.
		One of my favorites beautifully demonstrates the paradoxical side of Zen: "One morning when we were all sitting zazen, Suzuki Roshi gave a brief impromptu talk in which he said, 'Each of you is perfect the way you are.

	Shunryu Suzuki Book: Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind
		Zen Master Suzuki gives the most lucid exposition on practicing zen ever put on paper.
		To Suzuki, just the act of sitting zazen is meditation itself and as a consequence, enlightenment.
		From diverse topics such as transience of the world, sudden enlightenment, and the nuts and bolts of meditation, Suzuki always returns to the idea of beginner's mind, a recognition that our original nature is our true nature.

		Suzuki at first looked perplexed and repeated the phrase, "spare time?" He then began to smile and repeated again "spare time" and then began to laugh uproariously.
		As Suzuki was walking out of the building to meet his ride to Los Altos, a woman, at the top of the steps, called out to the driver, "You be careful now; we don't want to lose our treasure!"
		Suzuki's mind was wandering and he didn't notice as So-on pulled back the thin steel blade of his saw so that it bent into a U shape and let it snap onto the unsuspecting face of poor little Crooked Cucumber.

		Suzuki makes liberal use of the paradoxical language that is typical of Zen--e.g., "For us, complete perfection is not different from imperfection.
		Suzuki Shunryu, who as a member of the Soto school was a direct spiritual descendant of Dogen, would certainly have understood this.
		Suzuki's thoughts on Zen and Zen practice are refreshing and amazingly devoid of any belief systems that might corrupt the practice of Zen, and so I believe that, for me especially (being an American with little knowledge of Eastern traditions), this book was an amazing primer into the spirit of Zen practice.
