ZEN - ARCHERY AND SWORDSMANSHIP
In Zen archery art becomes artless, shooting becomes not-shooting and the archer becomes the target.
Bow, arrow, goal, and ego all melt into one another.
The need to separate has gone.
Zen fencing is a spiritual discipline.
It is another way of pursuing no-mindness.
The sword and swordsman become one.
Thoughts and feelings drop away as the swordsman returns to his original mind.
