TWO ZEN CLASSICS is a product of Herculean labors, wrought with dedication and understanding." - Philip Kapleau
Katsuki Sekida (1893-1987) was by profession a high school teacher of English until his retirement in 1945. Zen, nevertheless, was his lifelong preoccupation. He began his Zen practice in 1915 and trained at Empuku-ji in Kyoto and Ryutaki-ji in Mishima, Shizuoka Prefecture. He taught at the Honolulu Zendo and Maui Zendo from 1963 to 1970 and at the London Zen Society from 1970 to 1972.
"Katsuki Sekida brings to these works the same fresh and pragmatic
approach that made his Zen Training so popular. The insights
of a lifetime of Zen practice and his familiarity with Western as
well as Eastern ways of thinking make him an ideal interpreter of
the texts for the people of today."-Asahi Evening News
"These notes are the fullest and most intelligent that have so far
appeared in English."-Japan Times
"Two Zen Classics is a product of Herculean labors, wrought
with dedication and understanding."-Philip Kapleau
