"In Soul of the Samurai respected author and translator Thomas Cleary reveals the true essence of Bushido or Zen warrior teachings according to 17th-century Japanese sword master Yagyu Munenori and his Zen teacher Takuan Soho. These writings introduce the reader to the authentic world of Zen culture and the secrets behind the Samurai's success—being ""in the moment"" and freeing the mind from all distractions, allowing you to react instantaneously and instinctively without thinking."
