Wise, deeply personal, and frequently charming, it is the story of one man's penetration of the theory and practice of Zen Buddhism. Eugen Herrigel, a German professor who taught philosophy in Tokyo, took up the study of archery as a step toward the understanding of Zen. Zen in the Art of Archery is the account of the six years he spent as the student of one of Japan's great Zen masters, and the process by which he overcame his initial inhibitions and began to look toward new ways of seeing and understanding. As one of the first Westerners to delve deeply into Zen Buddhism, Herrigel was a key figure in the popularization of Eastern thought in the West, as well as being a captivating and illuminating writer. AnnotationThis is the story of philosopher Eugen Herrigel's effort to learn archery as a tool for grasping the concepts of Zen Buddhism. Having traveled from his native Germany to Japan, Herrigel studied with archery masters for six years and experienced many frustrating moments in trying to both learn the sport and also seize the concepts of Zen. Originally published in the 1950s, this book describing one person's journey towards enlightenment has become a classic in Buddhism studies and was the inspiration for ZEN AND THE ART OF MOTORCYLE MAINTENANCE.
