In this paper,we consider the existence of harmonic maps from a Finsler manifold and study the characterisation of harmonic maps,in the spirit of Ishihara.Using heat quation method we show that any map from a compact Finsler manifold M to a compact Riemannian manifold with non-positive sectional curvature can be deformed into a harmonic map which has minimum energy in its homotopy class.
