About this listen

Shunryu Suzuki, author of the beloved classic Zen Mind, Beginner’s Mind, is lovingly remembered as one of the greatest spiritual teachers of the 20th century - whose legacy is felt in every facet of American Zen. This monumental biography of Suzuki, written and read by his student David Chadwick, weaves together a rich tapestry of stories and memories of Suzuki’s students, family, and friends. In this updated and revised audiobook edition, Chadwick also offers rare excerpts from archived recordings of Suzuki’s teachings in the great Zen master's own voice.

Whilst the story is compelling and well written I only wish Mr Chadwick had employed a voice actor to read the audible file. His laughing and sobbing at emotive points in the story were really too much for me at times, in addition the amateur job done editing the audio produced a disappointing and at times hard to listen to experience.

Interesting story spoiled by off-putting narration
