Illuminating the Path,
By Andrej Dezman (Ljubljana Slovenia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Light of the Kensei (Paperback)
For the advanced practitioner of martial arts. Carefully, selectively written. Many precepts and corollaries in the Zen spirit. Life-saving psychology and transcendentive wisdom. This handy book comes to you as a friend when you don't have a friend.I am thankful to the philosopher and artist BlueStone.

This review is from: Light of the Kensei (Paperback)
Few books have stayed with me longer, and yet it remains relevant to my practice, even pushing me deeper into the realization of what I am becoming.
