Through the ages, the samurai have been associated with honor,
fearlessness, calm, decisive action, strategic thinking, and
martial prowess. Their ethos is known as "bushido," the Way of the
Warrior-Knight.
Here, premier translator Thomas Cleary presents a rich collection
of writings on bushido by warriors, scholars, political advisors,
and educators from the fifteenth century through the nineteenth
century that provide a comprehensive, historically rich view of
samurai life and philosophy. "Training the Samurai Mind "gives an
insider's view of the samurai world: the moral and psychological
development of the warrior, the ethical standards they were meant
to uphold, their training in both martial arts and strategy, and
the enormous role that the traditions of Shintoism, Buddhism,
Confucianism, and Taoism had in influencing samurai ideals.
The writings deal with a broad range of subjects--from military
strategy and political science, to personal discipline and
character development. Cleary introduces each piece, putting it
into historical context, and presents biographical information
about the authors. This is an essential read for anyone interested
in military history and samurai history, and for martial artists
who want to understand strategy.
