Crooked Cucumber is the
biography of Shogaku Shunryu Suzuki Roshi, Soto Zen master, author of
Zen Mind,
Beginner's Mind, founded San Francisco
Zen Center & Buddhist monastery Tassajara, Zen Mountain Center.
Shunryu Suzuki (not to be confused with the great monk and
scholar D.T. Suzuki) came to America in 1959 to minister to a small
Japanese-American congregation at Sokoji, Soto Zen Mission, on Bush Street in
San Francisco.
"Chadwick's biography provides a generous glimpse of the
humanity and message of one of the great spiritual teachers of the modern
world."
-Publisher's Weekly
Artists, school teachers, poets, and students of Asian
culture and thought began to practice zazen, Zen meditation, with Shunryu
Suzuki early in the morning. Crooked Cucumber tells the story of his
life and the development of his teaching and the San Francisco Zen center.
It includes many previously unpublished excerpts from his lectures, lots
of great teaching stories, and a unique, unromantic look at a Zen master's
whole life.
