› Find signed collectible books: 'Branching Streams Flow in the Darkness: Zen Talks on the Sandokai'Book summary: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. The book became the most successful treatise on Buddhism in English, selling more than one million copies to date. Branching Streams Flow in the Darkness is the first follow-up volume to Suzuki Roshi's important work. Like Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind, it is a collection of lectures that reveal the insight, humor, and intimacy with Zen that made Suzuki Roshi so influential as a teacher.[via]
The Sandokai--a poem by the eighth-century Zen master Sekito Kisen (Ch. Shitou Xiqian)--is the subject of these lectures. 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. The poem addresses the question of how the oneness of things and the multiplicity of things coexist (or, as Suzuki Roshi expresses it, "things-as-it-is"). Included with the lectures are his students' questions and his direct answers to them, along with a meditation instruction. 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.More editions of Branching Streams Flow in the Darkness: Zen Talks on the Sandokai:

Zen Mind 2009 Wall Calendarby Shunryu SuzukiISBN 1602371091 (1-60237-109-1)

› Find signed collectible books: 'Zen Mind 2009 Wall Calendar'Book summary:The mind of Zen Buddhism is revealed through authentic sacred art and profoundly simple wisdom. Zenga art, Zen-inspired brushstroke paintings, surprises and confounds our expectations. Although created by 17th and 18th century monks who were amateur painters, they have a startlingly modern appeal. The Gitter-Yelen collection of Zenga paintings is widely regarded as one of the preeminent collections in the West. Each month, the Zen Mind 2009 wall calendar features a Zenga masterwork paired with quotes from Not Always So by Shunryu Suzuki (1905-1971). Suzuki-roshi was considered one of the most influential Zen teachers of his time and was a direct spiritual descendent of the 13th century Zen master, Dogen. [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind'Book summary:Zen mind is one of those enigmatic phrases used by Zen teachers to throw you back upon yourself, to make you go behind the words themselves and begin wondering. "I know what my own mind is," you tell yourself, "but what is Zen mind?" And then: "But do I really know what my own mind is?" Is it what I am doing now? Is it what I am thinking now?" And if you should then try to sit physically still for a while to see if you can locate it-then you have begun the practice of Zen, then you have begun to realize the unrestricted mind. The innocence of this first inquiry-just asking what you are-is beginner's mind. The mind of the beginner is needed throughout Zen practice. It is the open mind, the attitude that includes both doubt and possibility, the ability to see things always as fresh and new. It is needed in all aspects of life. Beginner's mind is the practice of Zen mind. This book originated from a series of talks given by Zen Master Shunryu Suzuki to a small group in Los Altos, California. He joined their meditation periods once a week and afterwards answered their questions and tried to encourage them in their practice of Zen and help them solve the problems of life. His approach is informal, and he draws his examples from ordinary events and common sense. Zen is now and here, he is saying; it can be as meaningful for the West as for the East. But his fundamental teaching and practice are drawn from all the centuries of Zen Buddhism and especially from Dogen, one of the most important and creative of all Zen Masters. [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind : Informal Talks on Zen Meditation and Practice'Book summary:A respected Zen master in Japan and founder of the San Francisco Zen Center, Shunryu Suzuki has blazed a path in American Buddhism like few others. He is the master who climbs down from the pages of the koan books and answers your questions face to face. If not face to face, you can at least find the answers as recorded in Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind, a transcription of juicy excerpts from his lectures. 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. With beginner's mind, we dedicate ourselves to sincere practice, without the thought of gaining anything special. Day to day life becomes our Zen training, and we discover that "to study Buddhism is to study ourselves." And to know our true selves is to be enlightened. --Brian Bruya [via]

No Siempre Sera Asi: El Camino de la Transformacion Personal / Not Always So Practicing the True Spirit of Zenby Shunryu SuzukiISBN 8497540506 (84-9754-050-6)
Softcover, Oniro

› Find signed collectible books: 'No Siempre Sera Asi: El Camino de la Transformacion Personal / Not Always So Practicing the True Spirit of Zen'Book summary:El gran maestro zen Shunryu Suzuki popularizó en sus charlas la expresión "mente de principiante" como una metáfora del Despertar, un paradigma para vivir. Según sus propias palabras, "En la mente del principiante hay muchas posibilidades. En la del experto, muy pocas". Lo esencial es no apegarse a lo que uno ya conoce, sino despertar al maestro que lleva en su interior, su ser consciente. Los textos que componen No siempre será así corresponden a las enseñanzas que Suzuki impartió durante los tres últimos años de su vida. En ellos, el maestro, lejos de proponernos unas pautas estrictas que nos sirvan de guía en nuestro crecimiento espiritual, nos anima a encontrar nuestro propio camino. Las directrices generales implícitas en sus charlas son vivir el momento y ser amable con uno mismo, ya que, donde quiera que nos encontremos, la iluminación está ahí. [via]
