This samurai philosophy book contains the first English translations of their seminal writings on Bushido. Cleary not only provides clear and readable translations but comprehensive notes introducing the social, political, and organizational principles that defined samurai culture—their loyalty to family, their sense of service and duty, and their political strategies for dealing with allies and enemies.These writings introduce the reader to the authentic world of Zen culture and the secrets behind the samurai's success—being "in the moment" and freeing the mind from all distractions, allowing you to react instantaneously and instinctively without thinking. In these classic works, we learn that Zen mental control and meditational training were as crucial to the Samurai as swordsmanship and fighting skills.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 191mmItem Length: 127mmItem Weight: 284gGenre: Sports & HobbiesAuthor: Thomas ClearyRelease Year: 2017 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
