Mysticism, Christian and Buddhist

Book •
"Mysticism, Christian and Buddhist" by D.T.

Suzuki explores the parallels and divergences between Christian mysticism and Zen Buddhism.

Suzuki examines the core tenets of both traditions, focusing on the nature of enlightenment, the role of intuition, and the experience of transcendence.

He contrasts the Christian emphasis on divine grace with the Zen focus on self-realization through meditation and direct experience.

The book delves into the writings of key figures in both traditions, such as Meister Eckhart and Zen masters, to illustrate the commonalities and differences in their mystical approaches.

Ultimately, Suzuki seeks to foster a deeper understanding of the universal human quest for spiritual insight and union with the divine.
