''Zen Buddhism presents a surface so bizarre and irrational yet so colourful and striking, that some Westerners who approach it for the first time fail to make sense of it, while others, attracted to the surface, take it up in a purely frivolous and superficial spirit.
The fact is that Zen, as Dr. Suzuki demonstrates, is an essential expression of Buddhism, and Buddhism is one of the most tremendous spiritual achievements in human history- an achievement that we Westerners have not yet fully grasped."
(''ZEN FOR THE WEST'' is an essay of D.T Suzuki, from the book ''ZEN BUDDHISM'', Three Leaves Press, New York, 2006)
