Path of the Warrior: Consult the Oracle for Everyday Guidance on Your Life Journey

by Lucas Estrella Schultz

Noble warrior values offer insight for every day.

In this exquisite book the spiritual nature of a Japanese warrior's philosophy reveals how we, too, can use these beliefs as a guide in our own lives.

The warrior travels on his journey, and his experiences are recounted as if from master experiences are recounted as if from master to pupil to offer us guidance and support for the challenges of everyday life. Each morning, simply open the book and choose one of the thirty-six readings at random to discover the message the warrior brings you for that day.

Path of the Warrior is illustrated with stunning Japanese art, and each image has been carefully chosen to express the sentiments of the warrior's words. No other book brings such an understanding of the bushi-the Japanese warrior-and the world in which he lives, nor offers us a chance to learn from his story as we progress on our own life journey.

Short texts that really inspire

[Cris · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book is beautifully crafted. The art is exquisite.

This isn't the type of book you would normally read from beginning to end. (You can. There is nothing wrong with that.) This is more the book where you pick a page and you reflect on how it relates to your life.

It is a helpful guide to self reflection. It is worth noting that the warrior is not always successful or in the right. I found this particular aspect helpful in finding forgiveness with myself at times.

While this book includes beautiful Japanese artwork and many valuable Buddhist lessons in the form of a warrior's journey, I struggled with the often violent metaphors and male imagery used to impart the wisdom. I understand this is part of the tradition.

Pensé que habría más información, me esperaba algo diferente.

This book is bizarre.. the author is just a scholarly weeb. I can’t imagine gaining any insight from this text.

Excelente libro y guía para quien quiera recorrer el camino

[María Greene F · Rating 5 out of 5]

A mí, de adolescente, me hacían bullying por gustar de este librito. Es de los típicos que uno compra en la feria de artesanía, a un precio casi ridículo, cosa que hice yo. Luego lo anduve llevando por todas partes.

Bueno, que me hicieran bullying nomás, PORQUE ES PRECIOSO. Inteligente. Sabio. De pocas palabras.

A mí me sirvió de inspiración tantas veces. Todavía lo hace. Para mis adentros, incluso se me hace como "El profeta" de Gibrán, en versión argentina muy reducida. Así de bueno. Creo que el libro de Coelho "Manual del guerrero de la luz" sacó cosas de aquí también. Es bastante parecido, en su concepto.

Bueno, quizá es idea mía y no era tan bueno, y está en mi mente de una manera especial, porque lo adquirí en aquellos años tan mozos, y etcétera. PERO IGUAL. Cinco estrellas. Tiene un espacio en mi corazón. Uno merecido.

One of the most beautiful books concerning Eastern thought I have ever come across. The language is direct and the prints are gorgeous.
