The Religion of the Samurai

Quick Overview

The religion of Japan's majestic warriors, the Samurai, was Zen Buddhism, a unique living religious philosophy encompassing both unity and self-denial and noted for its physical and mental training of raising the Self over the body. Through the evolving practive of Zen the Samurai were able to master their bodies and thereby master themselves. In this classic, fascinating and non-dogmatic work Professor Kaiten Nukariya, Tokyo explains how Buddhism coming from China to Japan around 1200 AD was adapted by Samurai warriors into what came to be known as Zen tradition. This book covers the courage, loyalty, sincerity and self-control of the Samurai as well as the history, the universe as the scripture of Zen, Buddha - the universal spirit, the nature of man, enlightenment and the life and the training of the mind and the practice of meditation.
