Product Description

Review
"Zen-warrior and literary lion Vernon Kitabu Turner shares his experience and insight with clarity and compassion. His words ring like temple bells, resonating with the eternal truths of transcendent teachings, conveying both substance and spirit." --Dan Millman, author of Way of the Peaceful Warrior

Book Description
Soul Sword: The Way and Mind of a Zen Warrior is about warriorship in its entirety. All human beings are no less than spiritual beings who are temporarily trapped by the limitations of the flesh and a mind which is not yet illuminated. The world can be treacherous and battles come in many forms. There is within us an indomitable nature that can subdue the criminal who leaps from the darkness with ease or meet the challenge of unforeseen mishaps on a larger scale. It is the same power that operated in the Zen awakened samurai, the Shaolin monk and the Shepherd who became king, David of the Bible. Soul Sword:The Way and Mind of a Zen Warrior, proves you, too can tap that power.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nurtured my spirit, 2 Nov 2008
By Jd Duncan "Joseph DD" (London United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Warriors
Warriors, they call us warriors.
We fight for splendid virtue,
for high endeavour, for sublime wisdom,
Therefore they call us warriors.


Aunguttara Nikaya

This book is a poetic rendition of what it means to be a Warrior, for those with eyes to see it and insight to hear it the messages come across loud and clear.

If you have a calling to his writing then I encourage you to trust that impulse and open to this book.

Vernon Kitabu Turner has walked his own Warrior path through challenge and confrontation and now offers his experience and learning to nurture the spirit of Bushido in all of us.
