Zen in the Art of Archery

The path to achieving Zen (a balance between the body and
the mind) is brilliantly explained by Professor Eugen
Herrigel in this timeless account. This book is the result
of the authors six year quest to learn archery in the
hands of Japanese Zen masters. It is an honest account of
one mans journey to complete abandonment of the self and
the Western principles that we use to define ourselves.
Professor Herrigel imparts knowledge from his experiences
and guides the reader through physical and spiritual
lessons in a clear and insightful way. Mastering archery
is not the key to achieving Zen and this is not a
practical guide to archery. It is more a guide to Zen
principles and learning and perfect for practitioners and
non-practitioners alike.
