Zen
in the Art of Archery
by Eugen Herrigel
So many books have been written about the meditation side of Zen and
the everyday, chop wood/carry water side of Zen. But few books have approached
Zen the way that most Japanese actually do--through ritualized arts of
discipline and beauty--and perhaps that is why Eugen Herrigel's Zen in
the Art of Archery is still popular so long after it first publication
in 1953. Herrigel, a philosophy professor, spent six years studying archery
and flower-arranging in Japan, practicing every day, and struggling with
foreign notions such as "eyes that hear and ears that see." In a short,
pithy narrative, he brings the heart of Zen to perfect clarity--intuition,
imitation, practice, practice, practice, then, boom, wondrous spontaneity
fusing self and art, mind, body, and spirit. Herrigel writes with an attention
to subtle profundity and relates it with a simple artistry that itself
carries the signature of Zen. Brian Bruya - Amazon.com
