Herding the Ox
I wrote the Oxbook because I loved the visual imagery of the
Oxherding pictures and the way it helped me connect Zen
principles with martial arts training. The teacher in me couldn't
resist writing something that might help novices get a little
deeper into the martial arts. So Ox was the result.
Here's what the publisher says:
Herding the Ox uses the Ten Oxherding Pictures of Zen as a
springboard to discuss the spiritual and ethical dimensions of
martial arts training. By combining historical vignettes about
some of Japan's greatest warriors with thought provoking
analysis, it illuminates the relationship between Zen concepts
and real-life experience in the martial arts.
Written by a martial artist who is also a professional educator,
Herding the Ox takes the reader on an entertaining and
enlightening journey into the search for a deeper meaning in
the martial arts.
