The Buddha’s Golden Path: The Classic Introduction to Zen Buddhism

In 1929, when author Dwight Goddard wrote The Buddha’s Golden Path, he was breaking ground. No American before him had lived the life of a Zen Buddhist monk, and then set out to share what he had learned with his countrymen. The Buddha’s Golden Path is a true classic. It has touched countless lives, and opened the door for future generations in this country to study and embrace the principles of Zen.

Dwight Goddard was born in Worcester, Massachusetts in 1861, and became a pioneer in the American Zen Buddhist movement. During his life, he authored and edited nine titles

on Buddhism, including A Buddhist Bible.
