5.0 out of 5 stars Beautifully written, February 26, 2007

By	Nura Nonem "ahr iman" (ALLEN PARK, MI United States) - See all my reviews

and nearly as charming as that other fine book, Zen in the Art of Archery by Eugen Herrigel.

The author went to a retreat in the american southwest, and if anyone can find the contact information of the teacher (if he's still around) let me know.

I bought this book over two years ago and only now am slightly "getting" some of it. It bears repeated rereading - but without a qualified instructor in moving meditative practices your progress will be greatly slowed.

2.0 out of 5 stars Autobiographical approach, March 28, 2008

By	Daniel Hamilton "Stdnt of ..." (USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book was an autobiagraphical approach as to who one man learned. In this way the book was not what I anticipated. I thought thst I would be reading a book about techniques not how one internalized techniques. The below book was what I found more helpful. Kyudo: The Essence and Practice of Japanese Archery (Bushido--The Way of the Warrior).
