Author: D. T. Suzuki
From one of the most influential books ever written on Zen Buddhism: The paradox of Zen as a philosophy of compassion and combat. — One of the leading twentieth-century works on Zen, D.T.

In simple, often poetic language, enhanced by anecdotes and poetry, D.T. Suzuki studies the lives of some of Japan's greatest swordsmen, explores the military mind, and ultimately brings us to a new understanding of the meaning and symbolism of the sword and the code of bushido: the way of the warrior.
