Thus, it has developed an almost canonical reputation. Shunryu Suzuki (1905-1971) spent only a few years in America, was less than fluent in English, and taught in a way that was both simple and yet profound. With his easy intensity, Suzuki had a seminal role in establishing Zen as a viable spiritual practice in the United States and beyond.Notable for its brevity, the thesis of the collected "informal talks" in ZEN MIND, BEGINNER'S MIND is that in order to know Zen we must know the self; that in order to know the self we must reattain the "beginner's mind," that unclouded, intuitive understanding of life that was ours in childhood; and that this sense of newness is the linchpin of enlightenment. Although ZEN MIND, BEGINNER'S MIND only spans a whopping 138 pages, the length of this book is no guide to the quality of what lies within. It invites many readings.This is a handsome, sturdy, dust-jacketed half-sized hardbound edition from Shambhala whose heavyweight pages and binded gold fillet pagemarker speak well to the fact that you will be in a relationship with this book for years to come.***AUDIOBOOK REVIEWDramatic actor Peter Coyote has been a Zen practitioner for three decades, and here reads Suzuki-Roshi's classic in his well-modulated stentorian voice, without flourishes, but with a fine appreciation of Suzuki-Roshi's words. The print edition of ZEN MIND, BEGINNER'S MIND is a collection of transcribed spontaneous Zen teachings (teisho); Coyote returns those words to their original medium. A fine recording for teaching, meditation, or contemplation, the only drawback to this CD is that it abridges the book, though at three hours it is more than sufficient for most listeners. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A classic for good reason *by W***H on February 20, 2021* If you are interested in sitting mediation, zen, or just a bit of mindfulness: well worth the cost and time. This book is a classic for a reason. Probably worth re reading every 2-3 years. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I have read this wonderful book many times since encountering it in the 1970's *by L***N on April 30, 2017* I have read this wonderful book many times since encountering it in the 1970's. It is equally inspiring for beginners and experienced readers. ## Frequently Bought Together - Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind (Shambhala Library) 1st (first) edition Text Only - The Zen Monkey and the Lotus Flower: 52 Stories to Relieve Stress, Stop Negative Thoughts, Find Happiness, and Live Your Best Life - The Heart of the Buddha's Teaching: Transforming Suffering into Peace, Joy, and Liberation --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ae/products/96022781-zen-mind-beginners-mind-shambhala-library-1st-first-edition-text](https://www.desertcart.ae/products/96022781-zen-mind-beginners-mind-shambhala-library-1st-first-edition-text) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Arab Emirates* *Store origin: AE* *Last updated: 2026-04-22*
