Since Eugen Herrigel's classic on Zen and the Art of Archery I have not come across with a book that ignated my heart. In a world where technology, sophistication and complexity abounds, this simple story shoots an arrow of love straight to the heart of the reader. Kushner shares his story of how he decided to learn the art of kyudo and the insights of his zen practice, his difficulties, his findings, his struggles and joys. He connects remarkably well the teachings of his kyudo teachers with that of his Zen practice. An easy to read small book which faithfully conveys the message of love, simplicity and authenticity enabling the reader to easily travels back in time Kurshner and experiences his first steps of his learning journey. A must reading for those interested in catching the spirit of zen and kyudo and not just the technique.
