D.T. (Daisetz Teitaro) Suzuki lived in the United States from 1897 to 1908. A variety of excerpts from Dr. Suzuki's talks about Zen and Buddhism punctuate the film. Inter-faith dialogue and mutual respect were, in his mind, a key to peace, and part of the documentary is devoted to Buddhism and Christianity. Interwoven with film footage, photos and audio recordings of Daisetz Suzuki himself, are interviews of many people who knew him, inspiring in their own right.

A pioneer in improving East-West relations, his numerous books serve as an inspiration even today. Dr. Suzuki's message is all the more important now, in light of contemporary conflicts stemming from divergent ways of thinking.
