Sep 22, El Camino Del Arco by Paulo Coelho. (Paperback ).
Table of contents

It's worth commenting here that Herrigel basically invented the idea that Japanese people had a spiritual connection with archery - Herrigel was very keen on Western mysticism a la Eckhardt, and tried to find it in the mistaken translations of his rather eccentric archery teacher's instruction. Herrigel's instructor, Awa Kenzo, was very atypical in connecting the art of shooting with Zen Buddhism. For example, the word 'fired' is used incorrectly for a bow.

You 'fire' a cannon or gun as in, 'set fire to the fuse'. You 'shoot' a bow. There are quite a few of these errors in the text I had. Jan 15, tahmid syed abtahi rated it really liked it. Simple yet complex At first read, you might think this is a simple book about archery, but it's much more than that. The Way of the Bow is a teaching of another way to focus, to meditate, to become one with your intention, and to be strong in yourself. Read one chapter, close the book, and then give yourself a day or two to let the lesson unfold itself within you before you move on.

A lot of great nuggets of wisdom in this short read- much better than I expected. The way of the bow is a great allegory on how to teach, to learn, and offers an interesting prism through which one can view life, talents and challenges.

The way of the bow is a story of an archer who had mastered not only archery, but how to use the skills he had learned to live at peace.

The story begins with a stranger asking for a man named Tetsuya at a boy who probably lived in the neighborhood. The boy was startled when the stranger asked for Tetsuya, the most famous archer. All these years the boy and the neighborhood knew Tetsuya only as a carpenter. When the stranger finally met Tetsuya, he challenged Tetsuya to prove that he had perfecte The way of the bow is a story of an archer who had mastered not only archery, but how to use the skills he had learned to live at peace.

When the stranger finally met Tetsuya, he challenged Tetsuya to prove that he had perfected the art of archery and so he be announced as the best archer in the world. Tetsuya observed the stranger's posture, the way he held the bow, drew the arrow, set an eye on his target and the way he released the arrow towards the target. He immediately understood that the stranger had perfected the art, but failed to control his mind. In order to prove his point, Tetsuya took the stranger to a broken wooden bridge in a mountain, went to the middle of the bridge, balanced himself, took his bow and with a borrowed arrow shot at a target he had set at 20 meters distance.

He then asked the stranger to repeat what he did in order to be accepted as the world's best archer. Failing to do so, the stranger accepted his failure, bowed in front of him and left with the promise that he would never reveal the identity of Tetsuya to anyone. On the way back home, the boy led with his curiosity, asked Tetsuya to teach him the real art of archery.

    7. Tetsuya taught the boy about the bow, the arrow, the target, the posture and finally the flight of the arrow in a philosophical way. The teaching ended when both the boy and Tetsuya reached the carpentry workshop. When Tetsuya bid a goodbye to the boy, the boy asked him to share his own story.

    Long ago, when Tetsuya was working for a great nobleman, he spent most of his time with booze and girls to the extent that he fell down one day and was almost dying. An archer saw Tetsuya in an unconscious state, took him to his place and medicated him. Upon recovery, Tetsuya asked his saviour to teach him archery as he had found the art to be meaningful than whatever he had done in his life so far. After teaching archery to Tetsuya,the man took his arrows leaving the bow as a souvenir and asked him to leave and do what he loved to do. Tatsuya realized that he loved carpentry and that's how he ended up starting a carpentry workshop.

    For archery, as Paulo Coelho writes, is not just about leaving the arrow from its bow with precision, but with soul. A very small book of distilled wisdom. It will take you about half an our to read and a life-time to implement.

    Mar 20, Fahad Naeem rated it it was ok Shelves: With the help of art of archery, Paulo tries to give some life-changing lessons. It was an easy read but it appears the same repetitive words in each of Paulo's books. He needs to make his words stronger and penetrating. I'll take some time off from Paulo's books.
