DOWNLOAD ô The Book of Family Traditions on the Art of War Not to be confused with the Art of War by Sun Tzu the much early and better known Chinese treaties on military strategy The work of Yagyῡ Munenori from 1632 concerns martial. The Book of Family Traditions on the Art of War by Yagy MunenoriFinished 29820I would have to say I enjoyed this text so than the Book of Five Rings that this book was appended to in my edition Both of these books were read as a means of delving into the thoughts and philosophies of samurai in feudal Japan prior to playing the PS4 game Ghost of Tsushima The book gives the views of Yagy Munenori who s life contrasts sharply with that of rag tag Miyamoto Musashi due in part to his role as teacher to future second Shogun Tokugawa Hidetada thus later becoming the official sh gunke heih shihan or Martial Arts Teacher to the Family of the Sh guns Through an illustrious career he claims to have no understood the true meanings of martial arts until past 50 years of age a similar remark was made by Musashi with book being completed in 1632 the year he was appointed head of the Secret Service there In saying so this book shows reflections born out by a deeper social and political understanding and a deeper reflection on the conseuences of actions on the political environment Divided into three parts The Killing Sword The Life Giving Sword No Sword we see Yagy employ terms of Zen Buddhist origin to that of wartime and peacetime principles of the samurai whereby the killing sword represents the use of force to uell disorder and eliminate violence The life giving sword represents the preparedness to perceive impending problems and forestall them No sword represents the capacity to make full use of the resources of the environment Much of the three scrolls thus reads as a distillation of Zen principles in the context of samurai roles and life while also containing lines implying a wider scope of application What is interesting however is that Yagy often subtly or at other times distinctly acknowledges the limitations in the mesh between samurai life and Zen philosophy Again like Musashi s text this book can be read in a number of ways and I believe the most applicable to modern day life other than reading it for historical understanding is that of reading it to understand Zen principles and as a somewhat primer of living life While it serves the first type of reading that of understanding Zen principles well enough unfortunately as with Musashi s book to people who have encountered such thoughts before a reading of the book on the grounds of life strategy often reads like platitudes rather than actionable tasks All in all though enjoyed the uick read 355

DOWNLOAD ô The Book of Family Traditions on the Art of War Arts and military science It is translated by Thomas Cleary and can be found tucked behind Miyamoto Musashi‘s “the Book of five rings” from 1643 Both these texts analys. This book has snippets of good wisdom interspersed throughout it but you have to wade through a lot of Buddhist mysticism to get to it Useful for somebody doing comparative religions as part of systematic theology For purely martial writings go with Musashi The comparison is fair as both were bound back to back in my edition
