Throughout his life, Suzuki's primary concern was to explore and probe deep spirituality. He was a free spirit with an open mind, moving in multiple directions to satisfy this basic drive....When Suzuki speaks from the experiential standpoint about Amida, Pure Land, faith, and salvation, they take on a meaning that has universal implications. His subtle discussion of sincerity in religious practice and life is significant for both Buddhist and Christian spirituality.
