Synopsis
At last: a book on the martial arts from a true Zen master. Taisen Deshimaru was born in Japan of an old samurai family, and he recieved from the Great Master Kodo Sawaki the Transmission of Mind to Mind when Sawaki died. In 1967, Deshimaru-Roshi went to France and taught as a missionary general of the Sato Zen School until his death in 1982. In Europe he learned how to make Oriental concepts understandable to the Western mind. One of the results of that experience was this book: a series of lessons, question-and-answer sessions, and koans (riddles or anecdotes that point out general principles) that provide practical wisdom for all students of the martial arts--kendo, aikido, iai-do, jodo, or archery--as well as for the general reader interested in Zen.

Item as described, good price, well packaged, arrived slightly later than hoped (not in time for Christmas ) but the order was placed in a very busy shipping period. No issue with the seller’s speed of response and sending the item. Great seller!

Great seller with great communication! Item arrived complete, as described and for a good price. There was a bit of an issue with tracking the order at one point (not the seller's fault), but seller was proactive in reaching out to the carrier and myself to get everything back on track. Arrived when expected.

  • Outstanding, accessible insights into Zen’s central role into the true nature of martial arts.

    Review? It’s in the above title. If you seek a truly deeper understanding of martial arts, that is, beyond technique, read this book.

  • Espero les sirva este comentario en español

    Compré este libro por que actualmente practico artes marciales (karate-do shotokan) el libro aunque es breve es muy sustancioso y le permite al lector ampliar un panorama sobre como se ve en oriente las artes marciales, creo que es fundamental que todo practicante de artes marciales le de una leída por que como comenta el autor el BUSHI-DO es un complemento entre la técnica el ejercicio y sobretodo la práctica del Zen. En nuestro dojo repasamos a menudo los conceptos del sensei Gishin Funakoshi y este libro te permite entender el por que de las artes marciales se acompañan de una filosofía de vida. Todavía no lo termino de leer pero lo que he leído me ha permitido ampliar el concepto de la formación del caracter a través de el desarrollo mental y espiritual que la meditación estimula.

  • GREAT BOOK

    This book is a life changing book by a true Zen master and opens the door to bushido, and helps us see the hidden secrets guiding the martial arts.

  • the zen way to martial arts

    This book offers an understanding of martial arts in its true and pure form. I feel that much of latest generation of students have lost the true sense and purpose of this art form. Many blessings to all who read this. Amituofo
