When the bow is broken, then shoot! This was the title of the author's first, long out-of-print work, and in this book, the experienced Zen teacher invites readers to rediscover the fascinating Zen path of archery for themselves. It is much more than just hitting the target; it is about recognizing oneself and learning to let go of one’s own blockages and difficulties. Accompanied by texts, teachings, and meditations from Zen practice, the focus is on the joy of experience, the growth of trust, and the love of being. With this holistic approach, the art of archery becomes a fulfilling and loving path to inner liberation, encouraging us to peacefully and purposefully take the next arrow in hand, even in times of crisis.
