Description: Eugen Herrigel's classic work Zen in the Art of Archery has inspired people throughout the world to seek their True Self through the practice of archery. Unfortunately, however, few teachers are proficient in both Zen and archery and can teach that art as a Way.
This first comprehensive training manual for students of Zen and Kyudo (the Way of the Bow). It is based on the training at Chozen-ji, a Rinzai Zen monastery founded by Omari Sogen Rotaishi, where the martial arts are integrated with formal Zen training.
The Secret of the Target complements Herrigel's account of his personal experiences well, with its focus on actual practice. This book provides a clear understanding of Kyudo and self-fulfillment through Zen training for the growing number of people who are attracted to both Zen and the martial arts. -- from back cover
