The Art of the Samurai
Manage episode 313360107 series 3267999
The focus for this week’s episode is on the hagakure - a guide for a warrior - by 18th-century samurai Yamamoto Tsunetomo: the Art of the Samurai. This book delves into what it means to be a samurai in a time of peace and order, and how one can transform the bushidō code into a spiritual, inward discipline. We hope you may find some practical value in this discussion. Enjoy!
