D.T. Suzuki, the Swordsman & the Cat
from Zen and the Samurai by D.T. Suzuki, read by Christopher Reed. "Zen and the Samurai" is part of D.T. Suzuki's book ZEN AND JAPANESE CULTURE and explores Zen Buddhism as it applies to the life of the warrior, sustaining him both morally and philosophically, and how it is the work of a great Zen Master to be familiar with both the sword of life and the sword of death, and know when and how to wield either of them. In simple, often poetic language, enhanced by anecdotes and poetry, D.T. Suzuki studies the lives of some of Japan's greatest swordsmen, explores the military mind, and ultimately brings us to a new understanding of the meaning and symbolism of the sword and the code of bushido: the way of the warrior.
