About this book

Zen at War by Victoria, Brian Daizen. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780834804050.

In a challenge to romanticized visions of Zen, a Western Zen priest exposes the seamy underside of Buddhism as a state religion in Japan between the Meiji Restoration and the end of World War II. Included are quotations by well-known exponents of Zen, including the young D.T. Suzuki, glorifying emperor-worship and imperial conquest. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
