lthough all forms of Buddhism basically include Gautama .Buddha's four noble truths that lead to enlightenment, many different forms exist and some are quite unique. Thus, Zen Buddhism and Tibetan Buddhism stress different views on and ways of achieving unconditional self-acceptance, other-acceptance, and lifeacceptance. I consider some Tibetan Buddhism views in chapter 17; and I shall consider some Zen Buddhist views in this chapter.

D. T. Suzuki is known as the leading authority in the West. So I shall quote from his book Zen Buddhism and Psychoanalysis, which he wrote with Erich Fromm and Richard DeMartino (New York: Grove Press, 1960).

Suzuki's description of Zen Buddhism includes several semimystical positions of self, oneness, absolute subjectivity, inner creativity, the deification of personal feeling, and extreme opposition to logic and intellectualization. But his presentation also includes some clear Zen positions on USA, UOA, and ULA. Let us look at these philosophies.
