Summary
In addition to their roles as warriors, the samurai also studied literature, calligraphy, and philosophy. The philosophies of Confucianism, Buddhism and Zen, and to an extent Shinto, influenced the samurai culture. Zen meditation became an important teaching because it offered a process to calm one’s mind. In Samurai Wisdom, learn the mindset of the samurai, quotations emphasize discipline, honour, living in the present, and mastering the self, often highlighting that true strength comes from the soul, not just the arm, with famous lines from Miyamoto Musashi, Yamamoto Tsunetomo, and others focusing on relentless self-improvement, facing fear, and dedication to the path of the warrior over personal gain. Samurai Wisdom is concise and beautifully decorated, produced in traditional Chinese binding with over 80 enlightening quotes.
