The Vestal Virgin Reads - "The Five Rings" by Miyamoto Musashi (Book 5 - Emptiness)
Pax vobiscum!
Today we continue our dive into the world of Miyamoto Musashi, a man of 1600's Japan, warrior, samurai, and master strategist. This book is considered a classic, and I think in our journey through it together you will come to see why.
In this reading we examine the fifth of the books or "Five Rings", a book titled "Emptiness". In this short section, Musashi reveals the concept of emptiness and its importance to the Way.
