Path of the Warrior: Consult the Oracle for Everyday Guidance on Your Life Journey [Bargain Price] [Hardcover]

Lucas Estrella Schultz (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: July 15, 1998

Noble warrior values offer insight for every day.

In this exquisite book the spiritual nature of a Japanese warrior's philosophy reveals how we, too, can use these beliefs as a guide in our own lives.

The warrior travels on his journey, and his experiences are recounted as if from master experiences are recounted as if from master to pupil to offer us guidance and support for the challenges of everyday life. Each morning, simply open the book and choose one of the thirty-six readings at random to discover the message the warrior brings you for that day.

Path of the Warrior is illustrated with stunning Japanese art, and each image has been carefully chosen to express the sentiments of the warrior's words. No other book brings such an understanding of the bushi-the Japanese warrior-and the world in which he lives, nor offers us a chance to learn from his story as we progress on our own life journey.

This review is from: Path of the Warrior: Consult the Oracle for Everyday Guidance on Your Life Journey (Hardcover)

If your already on your own way to enlightenment, and you have chosen the way of the warrior, this book reads like a guide to life. Take a page a day. Sometimes it will shock, sometimes it will show you recognition of what your going through; but it always will make you think. If you're a warrior, you'll know what I'm talking about.

The book is a blend of Bushido and Zen wisdom. Following the Bushido code in your own way? buy it. If you don't know what I'm talking about, leave it be, and start reading this first > Living the Martial Way : A Manual for the Way a Modern Warrior Should Think

But the text isn't bad either. This is a smaller sized book, only about 5 by 7 inches, slightly larger than standard paperback size. The author has written a modern personal Tao Te Ching. Uplifting brief paragraphs acompany vivid and colorful prints from China and Japan.

This little volume offers an opportunity to take a short jaunt away from the usual humdrum. It's perfect for next to the computer (while waiting for things to download), waiting in line at the post office, or on top of the toilet tank (you need an explanation?).
