| Summary |
"Samurai Zen: the Warrior Koans unites 100 of the rare riddles representing the core spiritual discipline of Japan's ancient samurai tradition. Dating from the 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 as created by Zen Masters for their warrior pupils."--Jacket |
