Eugen Herrigel's 'Zen in the Art of Archery' recounts the author's six-year experience as a disciple of an archery master in Tokyo. Herrigel describes how he overcame his inhibitions and learned to shoot the bow without intention, with a natural force that allowed the arrow to detach like a ripe fruit. This experience transformed his being and gave him new certainties. Translated into more than thirty languages, this book presents the Zen doctrine from a Western perspective and offers a life lesson applicable to various disciplines.
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.
