Description
A comprehensive guide to Zen philosophy and its application in martial arts is presented by Taisen Deshimaru. Born into an old samurai family, Deshimaru received the Transmission of Mind to Mind from his teacher Kodo Sawaki upon Sawaki's death. He later taught in France as a missionary general of the Sato Zen School until his passing in 1982. This book distills Deshimaru-Roshi's teachings into practical wisdom for students of martial arts and those interested in Zen philosophy, offering lessons, question-and-answer sessions, and koans to provide insight into the nature of reality.
