Contact seller5-star sellerFirst separate edition. First separate printing of one of D.T. Suzuki's (1870-1966) influential essays on the training of a Zen Buddhist monk. Suzuki helped spread interest in Eastern philosophy, and specifically Zen and Shin Buddhism, to the West in the 20th century. This essay first appeared in his Eastern Buddhist journal whi…ch was launched after he and his wife founded the Eastern Buddhist Society in 1921 at Otani University and has subsequently been anthologized in many collections on Zen. Interestingly, we find mention of this separate printing in catalogs from Luzac & Co, the prominent London-based bookseller and publisher of books on the East, as early as 1921. In any event, it is a scarce publication with OCLC citing holdings only at Columbia, Northwestern, and the University of Oregon. From the library of Blanche DeVries and Pierre Bernard. 22x15cm, [1], 43pp. Red sheep backed cloth boards, spine lettered in black. Samuel Weiser ticket at front, Luzac & Co ticket at rear, original plain wrappers bound in. Some pencil annotations to front blank wrapper, page block somewhat toned and with a few edge wrinkles. Very good.
