The Samurai Doctrine: A Study in Zen Philosophy

For the Arab reader, this book is considered one of the most important writings about the origin of the doctrinal state in the Far East, which was exaggerated and not accurate or overstated. Investigating the religion of Japan does not mean digging up remnants of Buddhist faith that existed twenty centuries ago, but we must touch the heart and spirit of Mahayana that inspires its adherents in the present moment. This small book aims to show how the Mahayana perspective on life and the world differs significantly from the Hinayana — which Westerners generally consider to be Buddhism — and to explain how the religion of Buddha has adapted itself to its environment in the Far East, as well as to shed some light on the current spiritual life in Japan. (This book is valuable for the Arab library)
