Description

Samurai Zen brings together 100 of the rare riddles which represent the core spiritual discipline of Japan's ancient Samurai tradition. Dating from thirteenth-century records of Japan's Kamakura temples, and traditionally guarded with a reverent secrecy, they reflect the earliest manifestation of pure Zen in Japan. Created by Zen Masters for their warrior pupils, the Japanese Koans use incidents from everyday life - a broken tea-cup, a water-jar, a cloth - to bring the warrior pupils of the Samurai to the Zen realization. Their aim is to enable a widening of consciouness beyond the illusions of the limited self, and a joyful inspiration in life - a state that has been compared to being free under a blue sky after imprisonment.

As someone who has had a passion for Japanese martial and cultural arts (Judo, Jujitsu, Karate-do, Kenjutsu, Haiku, Senryu and Tanka poetry, and Zen) for about 7 decades, even though I am well into my senior years, I am still seeking more knowledge.For those who are not into Zen, a Koan is a riddle designed by the Zen monks that one is supposed to study and contemplate the hidden meaning in their Zen practice. Samurai were often students of a Zen group and worked on interpreting these koans.This excellent book has 100 Kamakura Koans, which also includes an explanation and what the secret is to the solution to the Koan.Whether you are into Zen or not, those into the warrior arts may find this book to be interesting and informative.Rating: 5 Stars.
