AB Japanese D. T. Suzuki occupies a unique position in the history of Zen Buddhism's migration from East to West. His many publications on Zen until a few decades ago were the only channel to knowledge about this universe, and 'Suzuki Zen' in itself has been a catalyst for lived Zen Buddhism in the West. This article describes Suzuki's life and places his understanding of Zen, Buddhism and religion in a historical and network-theoretical framework. It is concluded that the relevant critique of Suzuki ought to be counterbalanced, so that his achievements are also acknowledged 50 years after his death.
AB Japanske D. T. Suzuki indtager en unik position inden for zen-buddhismens vandring fra øst til vest. Hans mange udgivelser om zen har indtil for få årtier siden været eneste kanal til viden om dette univers, og 'Suzuki-zen' har i sig selv været katalysator for levende zen-buddhisme i Vesten. Artiklen beskriver Suzukis liv og sætter hans forståelse af zen, buddhisme og religion i en historisk og netværksteoretisk ramme. Det konkluderes, at den helt relevante kritik af Suzuki bør afbalanceres, så de faglige fortjenester faktisk også påskønnes 50 år efter hans død.
