Summary
This 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.

Zen in the Art of Archery
Herrigel, Eugen
New York: Vintage. August 28, 1989. Paperback. Near Fine. So many books have been written about the meditation side of Zen and the ev eryday, chop wood/carry water side of Zen. But few books have approached Ze n the way that most Japanese actually do--through ritualized arts of discip line and beauty--and perhaps that is why Eugen Herrigel's Zen in the Art of Archery is still popular so long after it first publication in 1953. Herri gel, a philosophy professor, spent six years studying archery and flower-ar ranging in Japan, practicing every day, and struggling with foreign notions such as "eyes that hear and ears that see." In a short, pithy narrative, h e brings the heart of Zen to perfect clarity--intuition, imitation, practic e, practice, practice, then, boom, wondrous spontaneity fusing self and art , mind, body, and spirit.

Zen in the Art of Archery
Herrigel, Eugen
New York, New York, U.S.A.: Vintage Books, 1989 "In the case of archery, the hitter and the hit are no longer two opposing objects, but are one reality. The archer ceases to be conscious of himself as the one who is engaged in hitting the bull's eye which confronts him. This state of unconsciousness is realized only when, completely empty and rid of the self, he becomes one with the perfecting of his technical skill, though there is in it something of a quite different order which cannot be attained by any progressive study of the art..."
