..Wow...the site looks like everyone has come out of the wood-work, but it's
good. Salik888, I'm not sure about others here, but the DT Suzuki works tend to
be on the rather scholarly side. I myself would say his words tend to be beyond
the grasp of an average run-of-the-mill kind of factory worker like myself who
possess only basic education. Now, someone like Deshimaru Taisen who is an
actual monk who doesn't boast a PhD or Masters (or some other level of
education, although I doubt DT Suzuki did any boasting as such at all) here and
there but is instead direct and to the point with teachings that actually
teach...well...that's different. I also don't hear much mention of DT Suzuki
amongst Zen practitioners, and it could be for these reasons
with Buddha's blessings
