Book Reviews of Zen in the Art of Archery

Book Review: A German Philosopher introduces Zen
Summary: 5 Stars

Eugen Herrigal was a German philosopher who learned the Japanese traditional form of archery as a way of learning about Zen. This story of his journey covers four years and many trials, but is the best exposition a Western mind can hope for to explain the mysteries of the Zen approach to learning. He becomes an accomplished archer, but that is incidental - and yet core to the experience.
