Indispensble Insight By Richard York For those who wish to gain a better understand of oriental philosophy and an understanding of Zen in particular, this book, Zen - The Religion of the Samurai, does an excellent job of describing the evolution of Zen Buddhism from its beginnings in India some 500 years before the Christian era and its growth as it spread across China and into Japan. The story of the evolution of Zen in becoming the dominant set of beliefs and practices of Japan is well documented and carefully presented. The elements of Buddhism are shown in their proper historical context and augmented by lessons and examples from the most significant teachers, sages and masters.Too many Westerners have the mistaken notion that Zen is monolithic and uniform. This excellent historical analysis of the evolution of Zen Buddhism will quickly dispel that notion and provide detailed information on the various historical forms and sects. Here you will find solid information on what is and what is not Zen Buddhism.This book is highly recommended not only for its value as a comparative religion reference, but also as a general guide to the philosophy of the East.

By G Nicholas If anyone finds it important, please know that this book does not have page numbers on any pages or on the table of contents. Extremely disconcerting considering that many many footnotes ( some quite lengthy) are inserted within the text. Also, one of the chapters begins with "Chapter IV" (Not bolded or larger type to make it easier to catch while fanning through the pages) on the LAST line of one page and the title of the chapter on the top of the next. And considering each individual chapter has sections that are numbered from 1 onward, this is very difficult to navigate.Lastly, there is no copyright page nor real title page. On the last page of the book, a bar code and three lines reads: "Made in the USA," "San Bernardino, CA," and the date "12 January 2015." This date was the day I ordered the book. It looks like the book was a print-to-order in a factory. Nothing wrong with that, except the file they used (if the print-to-order guess is true) is TERRIBLE, due to the issues addressed above. The book looks good, but is pretty much useless for any kind of reference or research, or even normal reading for that matter.I ordered it through Amazon LLC because I wanted a legitimate copy, and have had trouble before with vendors regarding editions, publishers, and other misrepresentations. One thing I can say positively, is that it came very quickly. Other than that, what a huge snafu!!
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. An Insightful Examination Of What Made The Samurai Tick. By kobodaichi This is an excellent introduction to Zen Buddhism as practiced by the Samurai of medieval Japan. It carries the reader from Zen's beginnings within the teachings of The Buddha, to the trail of Bodhidharma, the wild -eyed Indian monk who brought the tradition to China, where it fused with the native philosophies of Taoism, and Confucianism. We then see how it traveled to Japan where the influence of Shinto gave it it's uniquely Japanese flavor. Nukariya then explains how this form of meditation practice exerted such a strong influence over the Samurai class of warriors and administrators. It's intensity, fearlessness, and world view fit perfectly with the Bushido ethos of these fierce warriors. If the reader is familiar with Buddhist or Samurai history , he may find some of the spellings of technical terms a bit confusing at first, but it doesn't take long to catch on to his method. This fusion of Samurai, and Zen lore is appropriate for new or advanced students of Martial Arts and/or comparative religion. A BIG 5 STARS!
