The Moon in the River The Budō Path to the Empty Mind (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781796095333)

In The Moon in the River: The Budō Path to Empty Mind, Dr. Antonio Terrone has found a way to write about budō, the "Way of War," avoiding the trap of over intellectualization. The poems in this collection are meant to guide a practitioner along the life-long path of budō, training to unify mind and body, thought and action. The writing style is straightforward and sincere; natural and without artifice; all admirable qualities in a practitioner of both budō and Zen. This is a collection that should be savored slowly, poem by poem, again and again over a long time.
