THE ART OF PEACE offers a nonviolent way to victory in the face of conflict.
MORIHEI UESHIBA: (1886 - 1969), the founder of the Japanese martial art od aikido, is renowned as one of the greatest martial artists of all time. After years as a master of many martial arts, a soldier, and a spiritual seeker, he developed aikido as a way to cultivate peace and harmony in the world. JOHN STEVENS is a professor of Buddhist Studies and an aikido instructor at Tohoku Fukushi University in Sendai, Japan. He is the author or translator of over thirty books on Buddhism, Zen, aikido and Asian culture.
"You do not have to be an Aikido practitioner or martial artist to
appreciate the inspiring messages presented in Ueshiba's words.
Ueshiba believed that the real way of the warrior is based on the
compassion, wisdom, fearlessness, and love of nature, and thus his
teachings are not strictly for the warrior, they are for the human
race."—Qi Journal
"This book is a 'must' for all students of O'sensei's philosophy
and hence—I would say—for all Aikidoka."—Aikido Today
