«El camino del zen» is Eugen Herrigel's essay on philosophy and spirituality, published by Paidós in paperback (120 pages, in Spanish).
Written by a German professor who lived in Japan for six years, this essay analyses Zen Buddhism from experience: education in monasteries, breathing exercises, meditation on kōans, and satori or enlightenment. Herrigel also addresses Zen in daily life, poetry and the arts, and how this practice transforms the disciple.
The Spanish edition of The Method of Zen, originally published in 1960, appeared in the Paidós Orientalia collection (no. 3).
For readers interested in Eastern philosophy, Zen Buddhism and meditation, and for those seeking an approach to Zen from lived experience.
Eugen Herrigel was a German philosopher, born in Lichtenau. He taught philosophy at Tohoku Imperial University in Sendai, Japan, from 1924 to 1929 and introduced Zen to large parts of Europe through his writings.
