The work is considered a classic of Zen, a fusion of Eastern and Western philosophical thought, written by Zen master Daisetz Teitaro Suzuki, which synthesizes and summarizes in detail all Zen schools and famous Zen masters.
Suzuki's Zen Treatises is a collection of essays first published in The Eastern Buddhist Journal, presenting a logical, systematic account of Zen through representative Zen masters of various periods.
In particular, in addition to the explanation of enlightenment theory from the Chinese perspective, there are also explanations: Enlightenment and liberation; History of Zen from Bodhidharma to Hui Neng; Revelation of a new truth in Zen; Zen halls and Zen living rules and finally explanations of buffalo herding paintings; Contributions of Buddhism and Zen Buddhism in Japanese culture, comparing issues related to Zen between religions, especially Buddhism and Christianity; presenting the meaning of the Heart Sutra in Zen and the contributions of Buddhism and Zen Buddhism in Japanese culture.
Currently, along with many popular and developing Zen trends and movements, Zen Theory (recently published by VanlangBooks and Hong Duc Publishing House) through the translation of translator Duong Ngoc Dung with a modern, fresh, easy-to-understand writing style, helps to easily approach young readers and is more convenient for reference and research with experts. Combining the three books Thuong, Trung, Ha into one unified book has increased the aesthetic value, display value, and integrity of the work compared to the old three-book set.
The exchange and book launch of Zen Theory organized by VanlangBooks will take place at 9am on June 4 at Ho Chi Minh City Book Street (District 1), with the theme of Zen Theory - Finding Balance in Life. At the exchange, translator - Dr. Duong Ngoc Dung and MC - Master Nguyen Thi Bich Ngoc will share Zen knowledge in many different aspects to open up to readers more knowledge about Zen around the world .
