Eugen Herrigel Quotes

Zen Buddhism does not preach. Sermons remain words. It waits until people feel stifled and insecure, driven by a secret longing Picture Quote #1
The shot will go smoothly only when it takes the archer himself by surprise Picture Quote #1
Far from wishing to awaken the artist in the pupil prematurely, the teacher considers it his first task to make him a skilled artisan with sovereign control of his craft Picture Quote #1
Assuming that his talent can survive the increasing strain, there is one scarcely avoidable danger that lies ahead of the pupil on his road to mastery Picture Quote #1

The more obstinately you try to learn how to shoot the arrow for the sake of hitting the goal, the less you will succeed in the one and the further the other will recede. What stands in your way is that you have a much too willful will. You think that what you do not do yourself does not happen Picture Quote #1
This means that the mind or spirit is present anywhere, because it is nowhere attached to any particular place. And it can remain present because, even when related to this or that object, it does not cling to it by reflection and thus lose its original mobility Picture Quote #1
In the case of archery, the hitter and the hit are no longer two opposing objects, but are one reality Picture Quote #1
By letting go of yourself, leaving yourself and everything yours behind so decisively that nothing more is left of you but a purposeless tension Picture Quote #1
The right shot at the right moment does not come because you do not let go of yourself. You do not wait for fulfilment, but brace yourself for failure Picture Quote #1
