For any kyudo enthusiasts.

It takes a while to download but it is worth it. It is a copy of the handwritten original.

I was not conscious whether I was riding on the wind or the wind was riding on me.

Very interesting and nicely done.
Here's a direct link (right-click,'Save target as...', or just click it...) to the PDF:

Definitely worth a look.

Zen is not easy.
It takes effort to attain nothingness.
And then what do you have?

Re: The fundamentals of japanese archery
Its a pretty good read too. I am about half way thru and never knew the glove had a notch to hold the string. Zen and the art of archery never said much about the actual aspects of the art. Stance, bow, glove, etc...
