Publisher's summary

Leave the pressures and demands of your daily life behind as you focus on the Zen within your soul. Zen and the Love of Nature takes you on a captivating journey from a single lotus flower to a rippling brook to the grandeur of Mount Fuji, giving a Zen perspective on the joy and beauty of our natural world.

As Japan's leading authority on Zen Buddhism, D.T. Suzuki uses simple, often lyrical language, as well as poetry and anecdotes, to give the listener a new appreciation of the wonders of the world around us. Zen and the Love of Nature is part of a series of programs taken from Suzuki's Zen and Japanese Culture.

I was expecting something different

It is more of a commentary rather then anything else. It doesn’t allow for immersion in philosophical thought because it is always telling you “how things are”.
Even though it has bits of interesting information it doesn’t allow for a journey for me.
