Zen In The Art Of Archery Free Audiobook Download

Author : Eugen Herrigel

Eugen Herrigel (1884-1955) was a German philosopher and author renowned for his exploration of the intersection between Eastern philosophy and Western thought, particularly through his experiences in Japan. Originally a scholar of aesthetics, Herrigel's profound interest in Zen Buddhism led him to study traditional Japanese archery, which he famously chronicled in his seminal work, "Zen in the Art of Archery." This book not only reflects his journey of mastering the physical and mental aspects of archery but also serves as a philosophical inquiry into the nature of learning, discipline, and the deeper spiritual truths embedded in the practice. Herrigel's writings have left an indelible mark on the understanding of Zen and its principles, bridging cultural gaps and inspiring readers to contemplate the harmony between mind and body.
